Early variants featured a distinctively angled hull step and twin dorsal gunner positions; later Mk.II production aircraft incorporated a single dorsal turret configuration. The aircraft's exceptional range and comprehensive defensive armament made it a formidable anti-submarine platform and capable adversary against Luftwaffe long-range fighters.  - Model depicts the British maritime anti-submarine flying boat - Decal options include 10 Squadron RAAF markings plus three RAF variants - Highly detailed components and assembly\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Special Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48490469097693,"sku":"SH-72438","price":109.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/0708\/0110\/files\/SH-72438.jpg?v=1788373047","url":"https:\/\/ultimatehobbies.com.au\/products\/special-hobby-1-72-short-sunderland-mk-i-ii-eu-the-flying-porcupineeu-plastic-model-kit-aus-decals","provider":"Ultimate Hobbies Site","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
