Short Sunderland

Not Sure if this one is built from the same plans but I took this pic at Woodvale many years ago, this was powered by 2 stroke engines....would have been nicer with 4 strokes but a Superb Model all the same.I believe that this may well have been the same model as it was featured heavily in both Radio Modeller and RCM&E at the time it came out, as was the Mosquito I have posted Elsewhere on here.

Unfortunately this is the only pic of it that I have but I hope you all enjoy it all the same.

Regards.........Mark

Yes Mark, that is my Sunderland at Woodvale Rally in 1990 or 1991, both years I was there.

The plans are still available, by Nexus (I do'nt know if they still exist, because I cannot find there plans Service anymore or somewhere!), also in the USA (how they get there I don't know!!), also direct from me.

Have a look at my homepage:

Nice to have you on Board Jan,

Yes I think it was 1991 when I took the pic and it is a very impressive model, I did get to see see her fly too.

Do you still have this model..??? Please feel free to add my pic to your gallery. I thought it was a good shot.

Will have a look at your homepage too.

Regards....Mark.
