Short Sunderland Flying Boat model airplane

The prototype of this airplane, flown on October 16, 1937, was the first British flying-boat to have power-operated gun turrets. The first operational squadron was fully equipped with Sunderlands by December, 1938. All Britain-based Sunderland operations ended in early 1957, but in the Far East the airplane remained in service until 1959. The Short Sunderland Mk V used four 1,200-hp Pratt & Whitney R-1830-90B Twin Wasp radial piston engines, giving the airplane a maximum speed of 213 mph at 5,000 feet, service ceiling of 17,900 feet, and a range of 2,690 miles with 1,668-lb. bomb load. Airplane armament was 10 (4 fixed, 2 in bow turret, and 4 in tail turret) 303-caliber machine guns, and two 50-caliber machine guns, plus up to 4,960 lbs. of bombs, depth charges, or mines.

All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
