Airfix 1/72 Short Sunderland III Flying Boat, 06001 plastic model kit

1/72 06001 Airfix Short Sunderland III Flying Boat

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc+++

The Sunderland's 21-year record with the RAF has made it a legend. Derived from the Empire Class Flying Boat Airliners, Sunderland IIIs had a top speed of 210 mph and an endurance of 12 hours. These qualities made the Sunderland a superb platform for North Sea and North Atlantic patrols, ASW and SAR. Crews usually loved the airplane; its large size afforded many airborne comforts that bomber or fighter crews could only dream of, such as bunk, a head and an area for food preparation. Kit features beaching gear, rotating turrets with elevating guns, movable control surfaces, external bomb load and rotating props. Never started and factory sealed internally or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
