adey m Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 A final selection of photos showing my Sunderland servicing diorama Scratchbuilt servicing ladders. Servicing in front of my 1/72 T2 hangar which is scratchbuilt from paper card. The removeable roof hatch. Astrodome had to come from my spares. And finally, ready for its next flight. Thank you for your interest. regards, adey 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Excellent as always, Adey. Oddly I'm sure I have the beaching gear in a spares box (probably from 1970 something) but can't remember building a Sunderland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Great work on some classic plastic. One of those bore my glue stained fingerprints when I was much younger. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glatisant Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Have one in that boxing sitting in my stash. Could never match your spectacular build. A thing of beauty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amazing what I find in my spares box, I found the complete undercarriage legs from an Airfix Hampden I built in 1970 the other day. Does your beaching gear have the Penny Farthing wheels ? I think the contents of our spares boxes might make an interesting Topic. regards, adey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been in that box for a while but I know they got painted. (Probably not very well!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryanm Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Very nice - nostalgia, nostalgia! The first kit I ever tackled, when very young and with much help from my mother. I didn't realise the wheels on the beaching gear pivot for manoeuvring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristol boy Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Great looking model and detailing. I have one I built aged 12, over 40 years ago, you are tempting me to take it apart and refurbish it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Excellent! A bit of “fool the eye” going on there. Cheers Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael51 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 A spectacular build finished off by fine weathering. Well, I thought so until that hangar came into view. That really gives context and is a fine build of itself. Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinChipmunkfan Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I agree with everything Rabbit leader said. Your ingenuity - wireloops for clear vision panel, gauge grills and the attention to the smallest details make this a great model- and then ther is the photography! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil.C Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Brilliant model Adey. I remember a friend getting an Airfix Sunderland for Christmas 1964 which I believe was their largest aircraft model at the time and I have always fancied having a go at one. However you have set the threshold impossibly high! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
