Thats a Flymodel Nr. 136 Sunderland Paper model... it`s 1:33 scale and absolutely awesome... very nicely detailed and has all moving flying surfaces including flaps... it`s pretty huge too... over 1m wingspan

Hi Al,

many many thx. It makes me very proud to get such praise from you !! Peter Angus adviced me that the Cockpitsection is not 100 % correct, but I desc. to let it as it is in fact that I have to cover it with clear folie and it is easier as it is now. Never the less it is still a lot to to on the sunderland.

Rudi

With your obvious vacform skills, I am surprised you did not choose to mould the cockpit transparancies.

What will the flying weight be?

'Hope the flight trials go well.

domll · Oct 19, 2009, 01:02 PM

Hello Peter,

many thx. In the cockpitarea I prefer to make one window after the other (for example my B-17 or the Martin Marlin) This methode needs more time but looks better (just my two cents) . But no fear your construction from my hand will be looking good

Sorry I havn't weight it till now but my target weight is 700 Gramm RTFW. I am very optimistic to reach that target.
