The Short Sealand
is one of those 'unsung' flying boats that has never really featured
as well as it's illustrious ancestors, yet is a personal favourite
of mine as it carries all the attributes that a scale model
requires; it's well proportioned, streamlined yet business-like, and
carried a fair range of colourful markings. At last, it is now
available as a brand-new tooled 1/72 scale plastic model kit
released by Lift Here/Sebia..! These scans are taken
directly from the Sealand Servicing Manual, Flight Manual and
Modification Manuals and serve to illustrate
many detail points that a photograph cannot show and will go a long
way to adding extra detail to the new kit. Our grateful
thanks goes to Matt Savage for his kind permission to show them
here. Thanks, Matt.
