Eduard 72691 Sunderland Mk. V maintenance platforms SPECIAL HOBBY 1/72

The Eduard 72691 Sunderland Mk. V maintenance platforms set is a high-quality accessory dedicated to the Short Sunderland Mk. V model in 1/72 scale, produced by Special Hobby. This kit consists of precisely made photo-etched parts that allow for detailed reproduction of maintenance platforms used for servicing one of the most famous British flying boats of World War II.

The Short Sunderland Mk. V is a British four-engine flying boat, widely used by the RAF (Royal Air Force) during World War II and in the early postwar years. Its main tasks included long-range maritime patrol, detection and destruction of submarines, as well as air-sea rescue over the Atlantic and North Sea. The Mk. V model entered service in 1944 and was the final version of this design, characterized, among other things, by the use of Pratt & Whitney engines.

Maintenance platforms were an integral part of ground servicing for the Sunderlands, enabling mechanics to carry out maintenance work efficiently and safely, during both daily inspections and field repairs. With the Eduard 72691 set, you can achieve an extremely realistic background for dioramas featuring Sunderlands, taking your models to a new level of detail.
