Rad built a Shorter Sunderland I think
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That was the Venerable Mike McEvoy who did that. I've been working on a riposte to it for some time now.....  ;D

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! :)
