Hello folks, I have been after an Albatross for some time now and just can not find one.If anyone has one they would like to part with or knows where there is one in a shop somewhere, I would be more than interested in buying it, thankyou for any information recieved.
Cheers,

Chris,

Search under 'Monogram' as well, I think they released the HU-16 kit first, waaaaay back in the 60s sometime.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Cheers Kit,
I will have a look for one of the monogram ones also. I want a few of these kits, so I can turbo prop them and into Honduras Navy work.

They are also designated SA-16B.  Both Rare-Plane Detective and Old Model Kits have one Chris, Rare-Plane is much cheaper though.

Thanks for everyone giving me pointers as to finding one of these kits, Jschmus has come to the rescue and done me a swap for the Blackburn Skua I had up for swap/sale.
