Italeri have finaly announced release of 100% new model kit of 1:72 scale Short Sunderland Mk. I flying boat.
Sunderland Mk.I

Scale: 1/72

Catalogue number: 1302
Skill: 5
Model Dim.: 39,8 cm
Box Dim.: 440 x 270 x 70 mm

As the description of this kit on producer website says the model is made of 100% new moulds.

Decal options provides six painting schemes of British machines. Decal is printed by Cartograf. Italeri provides also few photo-etched details which can be clearly seen on attached photographs.

It looks that assembly instruction is made as a booklet providing background of technical details, walkaround photographs and brief history of the plane.

In all honesty THIS has been the one and only release this year I've been planning on getting. Now if Italeri could see their way to doing a nice new Stirling next year they would make me a very happy man!

Oh happy childhood memories of the Airfix offering flood back... tainted with the recurring breaking fuselage seam when you whooshed it around (as a kid) and floated it in the bath. This looks at fisrt glance a nicely rendered offering nostalgia alone might make me buy. (A trip to Hendon may well be in order now.)

I do have a soft spot for flying boats – and like Keith I remember the old Airfix kit, with the very very cool box-art... If I was to build something outside of WWI, this might be it. Mikael

Sure one of the very few 1/72 kits I will buy, as I have already Revell's BV 222 in my stash. Imagine both Flying Boats in "my" 1/48 scale ..... They would be huuuuge! But why is there no Coastal Command version or something from the CBI? All versions here look more or less similar .... Torsten
