Learstang Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Very nice - now this is one I've been waiting for! Any idea when it might be available (a rough idea would be good)? Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDSModeller Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Very Nice!!! Just a comment - bear in mind that the Mk III/V would not have a crew table or bunks in the bomb bay . The Mk I/II could have them but they were only by special order. Anti Sub bombs/depth charge would not be stored on the floor (no room), again there was a special bomb trestle which would pnly be supplied by special oder from Shorts. Look forward to the released model . Regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seawings Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I know this is just a 'snifter' look, but it already looks so very much better than the Italeri kit...!" My thoughts already are, " this one's the business"............. If one kit can be purchased which gives you multiple options of Mark and colour schemes, and it comes with sensible in-scale panel-lines, fixtures and fittings, AND it's accurate as to layout, shape and size, then it will be quite possibly the 'definitive' kit that we have all been waiting for - in my case since 1959..! I have always thought that it is just as easy to get something 'right' as it is to get it wrong; the only difference is 'due diligence' in areas such as references and research, mold-making/master production and of course nowadays, CAD skills. It's one of those modeling 'sole-destroying' moments when one gets to hear about a new kit, then when it's finally in your hands, it's so in-accurate or just plain wrong in certain important areas that it isn't worth all the work (for me, ever the flying boat 'nut') even to correct it; that's how I felt/feel about the Italeri kit. As to the after-market, crikey the sky's the limit; new hulls for the civilian Hythe variant, Sandringham, civilian Sunderlands - Oh, what flying boat joy! Christmas has just come a bit earlier for this modeler.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Any rough idea when we might expect the finished product for sale? You'll get my money! Best Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDSModeller Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Petr, Coming along Nicely!! Like Jason's post above, any idea when we'll see the whole kit Looking forward to building 1 or 2 or 3 (or 4) 1 in the Braby (Hobby/Luathala Bay), 1 on the Buoy Trot (again Hobby or Lauthala Bay) 1on the hard (definately Hobby) 1 in the Hobby hangar. And as a bonus, 50 years ago this year, RNZAF 5 (Maritime) Squadron won the Fincastle Trophy with the Sunderland MR5. So yes, 2014 is good year for a Mk/MR5 Sunderland Regards Alan Edited April 9, 2014 by LDSModeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMG Offramp Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Mouth watering ! I'm drooling ! Will this kit use the steel mould technology ? Please yes. Anyway I was about to start work on the Italeri kit, mainly filling the recessed details with stretched sprue and putty, now I'll wait for MPM's Sunderland.

petr@SpecialHobby Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Definitely yes, we all look forward to seeing this fabulous flying boat produced by SH. But, as usual, some projects take more time to get finished, some others are made more swiftly. We have to be patient. Sorry for keeping you waiting so long.
