Re: 1/72 Airfix Sunderland

Old kit, but still makes for a good looking Sunderland. Great job on the model.

There is a company called Sanger that has a vacuform 1/48th scale Sunderland in the works. They have a Short Stirling, Avro Lincoln, Avro Anson, Airspeed Horsa, and a Waco CG-4A in 1/48th scale vacuform kits too.

Re: 1/72 Airfix Sunderland

Great job. Do you plan to add some weathering on this one?

Re: 1/72 Airfix Sunderland

I dont touch vac formed kits . too much work involved ,no detail ( to me they are a waste of money ) The commissions i build are not weathered unless asked for .I do of course weather models ( well my own anyway) . I am assuming that the commissions are displayed alongside corgi diecast and they are not weathered normally .

Cool Re: 1/72 Airfix Sunderland

Great work Chris. Now if only we can get this one in diecast, I for one would get a couple at least!

Corgi's 1:144th scale versions were quite good. Altaya also has a Sunderland on its Bombers of WWII menu, again in 1:144th.
