this is a nice model review with good views of the beaching gear. it would be a nice additon to have a ground only model to be placed in flying boat facilty files. imagine flying over your home base and seeing a few out on the deck being worked on.

This one is of a civilian version of the sunderland, but the layout is very similar to the war time version.

this ithe link to a site were there restoring a Short S.45 Seaford, which was in turn a development of the Sunderland. it has great shots of the Navs, engineers and pilot positions.

and another good site scroll down for a good internal view and a good view of the front turret in the drawn back position to allow for water level access to small boats etc.
