Artie Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Now that the first Narval kits have been shipped, and our most beloved project, the Scimitar, is due to be ready for shipment by the end of June, we'd like to announce the newest kit by Scratchaeronautics, an all resin, 1/72 kit of the Grumman Albatross ASW.......at fisrt, just spanish air force decals are going to be available, but we're open to any other version...In fact, the fisrts kit will be ready this week. It was a special request by a local fellow modeller, and we developed the kit just for him....the we thought, WOW, why don't we put it for sale????? It's not a cheap model, for it needs a lot of resin, but we're trying to get prices to a minimun, and of course, including shipping costs worldwide,this time with a tracking number, we want to keep problems away from us...... A further Albatross kit is in our ambition, the early HU16A, short winged plane. Best regards.... Edited June 4, 2018 by Artie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Good morning from a foggy Tenerife.... Pleased to show you the first test shots of our new Albatross ASW in 1/72 scale. It's a full kit, not just a conversion set. It's already available, in fact, we're planning to spend this foggy saturday casting the first copies. It's been a long term project wich took about four months to complete. Next in line will be both, the HU16B and the short winged HU16A....... As you can see in the pics, the instuments panel coaming sits too high....It's just a matter of cutting the part to its proper height, remember it's just a test....!!! We hope you'll like it.....

Artie Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Just a few more pics.....The first five ordered kits have been made today. They're going to be shipped next monday. This forthcoming week, we'll finish the ATR masters, and go on working with the Scimitar masters as well.... The two seater Buchón masters are already finished, just waiting to make the mouldings the next week.
