Yes I`m sure that is the Jan Hermkens Sunderland. A lot of building(three large sheet plans from Nexus) A chap called Geoff Reichelt in Australia does `glass hulls based on these plans. A very good site with a link to Geof`s web-pages is www.seawings.co.uk or maybe dot.com, by Brian Ribbens. Massive amount pics on other seaplanes and flying-boats. A good source of kits, since the $ to £ exchange rate is so favourable at the moment, is Bill Price`s (California) range of flying-boats, see www.rcairplane.net/home List includes 3 sizes of Catalina, plus Grumman Widgeon and Albatross, Republic SeaBee (and twin version), Canadair CL-215 water bomber. In answer to other post, check with British Waterplane Assn members at Beale Park for location of club with water sites. The LMA have their own private lake but I dont think it is restricted to large models. Good luck and keep your gear dry ! Next year is the 21st anniversary of the Loch Insh Highland Splash-in, maybe see you there ?
