mildenhall rules Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Id like to throw my hat into the ring with the Albatross from Amodel. It looks a nice kit, and will make a change from tomcats and hornets! Hope this is ok Cheers Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mildenhall rules Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 cool.. what are the plans for decals? pure out the box. USAF rescue bird, I quite like the one on the lid. I would prefer to do the bluey-grey and white version but I dont have the decals, so silver and red it is. Is this ok? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mkimages Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Cool! This is one that's in my stash, so I'll be watching your build to get a preview. Love the Albatross & looking forward to seeing how this one comes together.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will send a PM of the scheme, its just I saw this one fly at an airshow in the UK with my dad quite a few years ago, and it looked great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I've got a couple of the old Monogram 1/72 Albatross kits, neat planes. I've been curious about the Amodel kits so I'll be waiting to see how the kit is as you build it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mildenhall rules Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hi, Well I have finally got round to starting this one, typically I have lost my starting photos, but ive not got very far anyway. The kit is quite detailed on the inside, you can have the internal cockpit door open for example, but you can see nothing when it is closed up, so I havent done much to the inside at all. It is a typical Amodel kit with no locating pins and quite thick joins between the sprue and the tiny bit you inevitably want in this scale, but with some sanding and tidying up, it is not really a problem. I have added a bit of nose weight, more out of habbit I think! I have also cut out the rear door as I wanted to add to little bit of interest. I will scratch build a 'at sea rescue platform' they would have hung out the door to pick up the downed pilots. Well, we will see how that goes ?! Hope your build are going well.

Aaronw Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It looks like it has a lot more interior detail than the 1/72 Monogram kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
