Powered by four Bristol Pegasus or Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney Twin Wasp radial engines, the Sunderland excelled in maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare, and air-sea rescue missions. Known affectionately as the \"Flying Porcupine\" by German pilots due to its heavy defensive armament, the Sunderland could remain on patrol for up to 13 hours and featured a galley and sleeping quarters for its crew. The aircraft's distinctive boat hull and long service record make it a favorite subject for flying boat enthusiasts and RAF Coastal Command modelers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEduard's CX series masks are precision-cut from thin, flexible vinyl that conforms perfectly to complex canopy curves and wheel hubs. The set typically includes canopy frame masks for both interior and exterior surfaces, wheel hub masks, and any additional glazed areas. The self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without residue, while the material's flexibility allows it to follow compound curves without lifting or leaking paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Eduard Paint Masks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1989, Eduard has been perfecting the art of paint masking, using CAD design and precision cutting to create masks that fit perfectly with minimal trimming. Paint masks save hours of tedious hand-masking with tape, eliminate the risk of uneven paint lines, and allow you to achieve professional results even on complex multi-pane canopies. Simply apply the masks, paint, and remove to reveal crisp demarcation lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComplementary Products for Your Sunderland Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your Short Sunderland project with the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/products\/1-72-italeri-sunderland-mk-iii-1352\" target=\"_self\"\u003eItaleri Sunderland Mk.III\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e kit.
