.... over what kits might be released.....
I spotted on the dreaded Facebook that HK Models have been asking opinions about a 1/32 scale Short Sunderland.
Now their 1/32 B17 is big, their Lancaster will be even bigger, but if they do a 1/32 Sunderlnd it will dwarf the others with a wingspan of 42" (39" for the Lancaster).
We will certainly need the wall fixings they supply to be able to display that one! Mind you even on a wall it is a high aircraft and will stick out by over 12".....
I will just have to get one. I am sure I can find somewhere in my garage to fix it to the wall.... I just love the Sunderland and well remember when I was a child back in pre-history my grandfather buying me the 1/72 Airfix one....
I also understand they may do a Halifax and B24, not to mention a B26 as well....after the Lancaster and a P51B/C.
This is a great time to be a modeller.....
What do you think and will you build the Sunderland?

... be quiet at the back!) anyway, when I was at school we went on a Youth Hostel trip by coach. One of the YH was in Ryde, Isle of Wight. Now I am not sure of the date but it would have been early 1960s. My 'memory' was that as we crossed over on the ferry, I believe I saw a number of these anchored on a sandbank. I can see them now in my mind but I cannot be sure that it isn't a fake memory. I have not been able to find any info of if any were left there, possibly ready for breaking up, I just don't know.
