Sunderland Mania!

[clipper1801]

Just back from down under on the Clipper tour, had several close Shorts encounters! It began with lots of great photos on the museum walls . . .









Then in the gift shops . . . from the TINTIN Series!



1/200" Scale even!







Featured on the very last page of the book : (



As a post card? Solent version . . . hmm



Gotta get a few things . . .



Ooooo, nice color profile card in military colors . . .



Then inside the MOTAT Aviation hangar . . .







Then just outside the back door, my son had a surprise waiting!





YES!!!!!!!



Nearly finished . . .

Great photographs, David!

Nice pics Dave. I bought a Tintin Sunderland last year and was pleasantly surprised to find is was 1/200 as near as makes no difference.

[flash]

That's a result Steve ! What great pics, thanks Dave.

So pleased this part of your trip was so much fun. Great pictures, indeed! Keep us post on mold status and when/if you pour any for sale...

Glad you're back safe and sound

All the best,
Matt

They haven't won a game yet so will probably be going down yet again. A true amphibian football club.
