CedB Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 When I showed pictures of some of my models on the ceiling @perdu commented "…wouldn't it be splendid to see the stately Sunderland flying in formation with her latter-day successor?" As John Luke would say, "Make it so". So I did. The usual extended and detailed WiP, including some great reference material (thanks all) is here. As it's Christmas Eve I thought I'd do a hasty RFI - I hope you like it The internals are, of course, now invisible, but I included 'Bill's Dad' adjusting the bombs on the rack: Merry Christmas all! 72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP42 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Hey, found it!! Looks fabulous Ced. Glad to see it on the ceiling at last. I was looking at the reference pics regarding the weathering and wondered if you'd pull it off. Needless to say it looks the part unquestionably.👍 I almost broke mine out of the stash the other day but the Stranraer waved at me instead and became the Christmas holiday model. 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
