The Short Sunderland was a legendary flying boat that became a key weapon for the Royal Air Force Coastal Command during the Battle of the Atlantic. Its long-range endurance and heavy defensive armament earned it the German nickname "Flying Porcupine" and made it a formidable opponent for U-boats. The Mk.III, introduced in late 1941, was the definitive variant, serving with distinction in anti-submarine and maritime patrol roles across the globe.

This 1/72 scale model kit by Italeri allows you to recreate this iconic aircraft in stunning detail. It accurately captures the Sunderland's imposing flying boat design and features intricate interior and exterior details. The kit is a challenging yet rewarding build for the intermediate modeller and includes a superb decal sheet with six historically accurate schemes, including options for both British-based and Australian-based RAAF squadrons.
