1/72 06001 Airfix Short Sunderland III
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
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. This kit is from 1986 and features 160 pieces, beaching gear, rotating turrets with elevating guns, movable control surfaces, bomb load (that can be displayed stowed or in the deployed position, rotating propellers and more.
