Italeri 1352 - 1/72 Scale Shorts RAF Sunderland Mk.III Historical Model Kit  [IT-1352S]

Italeri 1352 1/72 Shorts RAF Sunderland Mk.III - Heritage in Miniature

The Short Sunderland Mk.III played a vital role in World War II maritime patrols, notably during the Battle of the Atlantic. Italeri's 1/72 kit captures the Mk.III form, reflecting the 1941 upgrades that improved patrol capability and submarine detection for Coastal Command operations.

Aircraft Background and Scale Appeal

The Sunderland Mk.III combined solid construction with four Bristol Pegasus radial engines, yielding a top speed of about 336 km/h and a range close to 2,800 km. This kit offers modellers a chance to portray that operational profile with authentic external detail.

Kit Highlights and Finish Considerations

Included are a super decals sheet with six marking options, a photo-etched fret and a full colour instruction sheet to assist assembly. The parts permit a high-quality static display; bear in mind glue and paints are not included with the kit.
