Has no-one told the seller that by including "rare" in the description of a kit being sold on evil-bay he is obliged to ramp up the price to a ridiculous level?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

One for the 144 scale buffs perhaps found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=201476502837&alt=web

:)

But being a Kader kit, will the port fuselage half even be the same length as the starboard one?
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! :)

According to the 'Big Book', the Kader Sunderland is actually 1/152 scale  (as an aside, Kader never released any of their kits in 1/144 scale)

EDIT a bit later:

Kader reboxed and/or reissued Lincoln kits, they didn't make any of their own.  The Lincoln Sunderland is kit #118

RAFF-35

Asides from that, are there any other 1:144 Sunderland kits, that aren't more expensive than the 72's? Because I have a few ideas for what to do with the aircraft, but I just don't have the room for 3 or 4 1:72's, barely enough room for one for that matter  :lol:
Don't let ageing get you down, it's too hard to get back up

The 2005 Addendum to the 'Big Book' says there's a Sandringham done by F-rsin in 1/144th but no 1/144 Sunderlands are listed in IJ, Corgi and Altaya both do a die-cast 1/144 model though
