I guess so. I've forgotten most of what I ever knew about Sunderlands/Sandringhams, but the conversion part is definitely a streamlined, sloping nose (with outline of mooring hatch molded in) and not the clunky-original-bulged-Sunderland-nose-with-turret-replaced-by-ugly-metal-fairing (how's that for technical terminology?), which is presumably what you are referring to in the Hythe class. It definitely gives a rather elegant look to the old Sunderland airframe.

And speaking of the Sunderland, after purchasing Dana's conversion parts, I had to run out and buy a Sunderland kit; didn't have one in my stash as I thought. I'm amazed at how well that kit has stood up over the years; it's got to be approaching 50 years old!
