Hi all,

 

Just stumbled across this, showing as "in progress", the topic is nearly 2 years old and I can't find any further updates - it looks rather stunning though!

Stunning, ambitious and hugely expensive.

The Alpha Flight Sunderland is not without its problems. Bad casting, some warping, some broken parts -- all can be fixed, but the wrongly spaced portholes would be difficult to put right. Plus it's a Mk.III, not the Mk.V that I want. I got one many years ago, before the price of postage made getting large kits from overseas impossible, and I'll finish it one day. For some reason it does include a Mk.V nose turret.

 

The Sanger kit is both Mk.III and Mk.V, but would be a lot of hard work and is not really a consideration because of shipping costs.
