The real subject

The Grumman Albatross is a twin-engined amphibious flying boat, designed to take off from and land on water and on land alike. It became known above all in search and rescue duties, when it would set down on the open sea and pick up downed airmen or survivors. In US Air Force service it originally carried the designation SA-16 and served in many corners of the world for decades.

Building and painting tips

As with any short-run tooling, allow for cleaning any flash off the parts and for a trial fit of the larger assemblies, mainly the fuselage and the engine nacelles. Glue the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Varnish the fuselage before fitting the clear parts and take care over seating the windows.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of amphibious and rescue aircraft
  • Modelers with experience of short-run kits
  • Lovers of postwar aviation in 1:72

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
