Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The ERCO ball turret as used on the nose of the PB4Y would look very cool
on the front of a Sunderland. Maybe the teardrop waist positions as well.
The Matchbox PB4Y kit would be the best source.

Cool looking turrets BB  :thumbsup:  Can't really run to buying any more kits at the moment, I'm going to do what I did on the Avro Stockport (which I was quite pleased with, looks-wise)
Great idea though  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  I did use a spare Arado A555 remote gun for the top central turret which I thought looked better than the egg shaped original  :o  ;D

Many thanks, need to get more filler on next & the wing floats  :thumbsup:

Totally agree with Kit ..excellent stuff mate 👍 😉
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

very good looking with the composite shots  :thumbsup:    the b/w one especially looks " authentic"   ;D
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront
