Corgi AA27501 Short Sunderland MkIII, EJ134, 461 Squadron RAAF, 1943.

Regtheveg has posted pics of the new Corgi 1/72 Sunderland on the new Model Hangar III forum. 

Corgi AA27501 1:72 AA27501 Short Sunderland MkIII, EJ134, 461 Squadron RAAF, 1943. Certificated Limited Edition of 3000 pieces.

This model is approx 3.8 kilos boxed - so it's a quite lot of metal & heavy stand, heavier by 200g than a boxed 1/72 Corgi Vulcan

Some quick pictures.

For those asking how the bomb bay - shelf - tray or whatever works, look further down and you'll see that you push the door inwards into the fuselage, and then slide it downwards, all the way until only the small tab is protruding out. The bombs can be slid out on the rack, the door can be closed again while the bombs are out.

To close the door, just slide it upwards, keeping it parallel to the fuselage, until it clicks shut, and flush again with the fuselage.
