this is a nice model review with good views of the beaching gear. it would be a nice additon to have a ground only model to be placed in flying boat facilty files. imagine flying over your home base and seeing a few out on the deck being worked on.

This one is of a civilian version of the sunderland, but the layout is very similar to the war time version.
