This decal sheet is somewhat basic, but that does not mean that it will be an easy job. These PBYs are very colorful, with blue hulls, red stripes, and white tops. The engine nacelles have red striping as well, with titles on the fuselage and lower wing. That about covers the decals, which is the easy part. The tough part will be with the conversion, as these PBYs were heavily modified. First off, you will need to convert the nose to a boat hull, removing the turret and fairing it in. This will probably be the toughest part of the conversion. Second, the rudder was cut down and reshaped, a common sight on civil PBYs in Canada. The engines need cooling gills added as well. The majority of the work, though, will be with the interior. Underneath those large blisters was a plush setup with couches and bulkheads. Finally, these PBYs featured air stairs in the back of the aircraft. The instructions state that the drawings are a best guess, as no dimensional information is available on these stairs. With all the other work you are going to have to do to the Minicraft kit, you might as well go all the way and drop the air stairs. An added benefit is that you will not have to weight the nose this way.
