SH72162 Sunderland Mk.V on finals - boxart and decal sheet unleashed

Image
The 1/72 scale Short Sunderland Mk.V kit is due to appear on the shop shelves this April and it really thrills us to bits to be finally able to confirm this release, given the quite lengthy preparation work involved in this model. The box top art portrays the machine which was flown by Czech pilot Vaclav Bergman, DFC and Bar in the skies over Malaya and Korea. The decal sheet also caters for three more schemes, one of which is a French machine, another one is a British Sunderland flying cargo to and from besieged Berlin and we also must not forget to mention V for Victor Sunderland NJ177 for which we have got a real photo galore courtesy of Mr.Matthews, a son of one of the crew member.
