John Masters Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Does anyone know if somewhere in the world there is a spare Pegasus Albatros CIII sitting around that someone would be willing to part with? I built one years ago and loved it (lost it in a move) and would like to build another. No sign of anything on eBay or other sites... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbagger Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Hi John, Here's a link to a possible restock, if you've not seen it: https://www.emodels.co.uk/pegasus-1-72-albatros-c-iii-german-wwi-2-seater-4008-plastic-model-kit.html On this site - give them a call or email: http://ajaviation.co.uk/pegasus-models/ Other manufacturers in other scales: Special Hobby, Eduard, Roden, Aurora, Joystick Models.

John Masters Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Thanks Sandbagger. I had seen the first link already but not the second, so I sent them an email. Regarding the other manufacturers---almost no one has issued a kit of this aircraft, other than perhaps Joystick ( I shy away from vacuform...). Thank you for the response!

Beardie Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Might be worth giving Freightdog models an email http://www.freightdogmodels.co.uk/ As I understand they are in possession of all Pegasus related stuff and should, at least, be able to tell you whether they will be re-issuing the kit or whether they have any copies lurking in a dark corner.

John Masters Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Thanks Beardie. I checked the website an they seem to have a few kits but, alas, not the elusive CIII...I fear the only kit out there is from Joystick. There are some fine threads on other forums about the building of such vac kits, but I must admit I want an injection or resin kit. The vac kits just leave too much to do--micro-welding, etc...stuff I don't do. I guess I must feel blessed that at one time, 10 years ago, I built a lovely little model and cherish that memory...

Beardie Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 As I said though, it might be worth emailing them. Freightdog are the owners/makers of Pegasus kits these days and may have plans to re-issue it or have some spares somewhere. Although I do recall them telling me some time ago that some of the molds were beyond repair now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Thanks Beardie. I have sent them an email. Fingers crossed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unmade. I got mine from a second hand kit seller at a Duxford air display a few years ago, so they are still around. It is part of my Albatros collection I would attach an image but my Photobucket has stopped working on my phone. Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thanks Andrew. I was referring to the CIII, the two seater. I have built the DIII kit and it is typical Pegasus stuff...a lot of extra stuff that makes it fun! Thanks, --John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbagger Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Hi John, Out of curiosity, I've just done a web search for 'Albatross C.III model kits' and straight away several kits from different manufacturers came up in EBay. Are you looking specifically for a Pegasus kit? Mike Edited May 26, 2017 by Sandbagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Alas, Mike...I went to Ebay using your search parameters...a few in 1/48th scale, but not my beloved and longed-for Pegasus 1/72nd scale bird. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Here is the only photo I have of that fine little kit I built back in 2006. I was able to get into my old photo bucket account and find it... --John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Oh my yes...What would you like to do? It feels impolite to offer money however that is the best I can do--that and build a lovely little 1/72nd scale gem. I am in Greece, on the island of Paros (one of the Cyclades). Wow! What a thing! I am ecstatic at the chance... --John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Good luck John, I must say the Pegasus range was pretty good with a good range of products. I found it a bit of a crossover between mainstream and scratch build ,good practice for anyone wishing to do a little more than just assemble the parts. Whilst reading your thread a certain J R Hartley came to mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Aha! I had to google Hartley for the reference...apropo. I might have to go to youtube and watch the adverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
