As the electronic detection of enemy U-boats became essential in disrupting their operations, the earlier stickleback radar antennas on the spine of the aircraft were replaced with the later and more capable ASV. MK.III units, which were housed in streamlined blisters underneath each wing, outboard of the floats as modelled here. As U-boats could now detect approaching RAF aircraft with their own radar sets, these new radar blisters operated outside the frequencies used by the previous units and ensured that Coastal Command Sunderlands continued to keep marauding U-boats fearful of attack from the air. The sight of large numbers of these impressive flying boats operating from RAF Pembroke Dock must have been awe inspiring for anyone lucky enough to witness it. At one time, this was the largest seaplane base in the world, this Welsh coastal town was to become crucially important in the Battle of the Atlantic. Safety Notice A detailed die-cast scale model for adult collector. Not Suitable for children under 14 years. ## Features - Short Sunderland Mk.Iii Ml788/2-S, No.422 Squadron Rcaf, Pembroke Dock 1/72 Scale Diecast Model ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Product Dimensions | 38.1 x 48.26 x 10.16 cm; 3.45 kg | | Manufacturer recommended age | 16 years and up | | Item model number | AA27502 | | Assembly Required | Yes | | Scale | 1.72 scale | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Material Care Instructions | Wipe Clean | | Remote Control Included? | No | | ASIN | B01L1DU50Y | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Corgi - **Theme:** Aircraft - **Style:** Coastal - **Occasion:** Wedding, Anniversary - **Cartoon character:** American - **Special feature:** Portable - **Product care instructions:** Wipe Clean - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 05055288633322 - **Seasons:** All Seasons ## Images ![Corgi AA27502 Short Sunderland Mk.III ML788/2-S, No.422 Squadron RCAF, Pembroke Dock - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OPAN+I-cL.jpg) ![Corgi AA27502 Short Sunderland Mk.III ML788/2-S, No.422 Squadron RCAF, Pembroke Dock - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Zfdm1hCCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accurate model *by R***N on 13 April 2020* Accurate and model up to usual corgi standard and very robust ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality of workmanship and finish.. *by A***R on 16 December 2019* The model was more than I expected for detail and finish. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good moel *by F***E on 14 March 2018* Its a very good moel!
