Kevin Callahan Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I've been eying the resin DH-91 for a while - now I'm glad I waited! Valom kits can have their challenges, but I'd rather do it in plastic rather than resin. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I do wish they wouldn't, I'm going to NEED one of these. Steve. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeronut Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I couldn't care less what Airfix will announce at SMW now, Valom has got my attention. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcanicity Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 YES! Like others I have wanted to build an Albatross for years and have been vacillating about the resin options. I feel like this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Callahan Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Although a military DH-91 will be popular, I do hope Valom plans to issue at least one box with airliner markings. They do tend to release multiple boxings of the same plastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Excellent news, resin just ain't my bag so this is just what I was waiting for. Surely one of the most beautiful aircraft ever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishKiwi Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 LIke all of the above comments, it is good to see this little known but important to any WW2 British collection aircraft, in a plastic context at an affordable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Wonderful. I don't know when/if I will ever get one, but this is just wonderful news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 A rather surprising announcement but one I'm very happy with. I'm not really an airliner guy but the Albatross is such an elegant design that I've even looked into scratchbuilding one at some point... looking forward to this ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaselden Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Oh my....this is definitely going to tempt me back into 1/72 territory. This and the Airfix Wellington. Just when I thought I'd escaped, I get dragged back in again <<sigh>>. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcanicity Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I think I mind end up building a civilian one even though I only really model RAF/FAA aircraft - I can't find any references for what the two mailplane-variant Albatrosses that were impressed might have looked like inside...

Here is photo of inside (for civilian, but do you think that they were stripped out from furnitures?) http://www.pilotfriend.com/photo_albums/timeline/between/de Havilland DH91 Albatros.htm http://jn.passieux.free.fr/html/Dh91_cabine.php Cheers J-W Edited November 15, 2017 by JWM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) The Flight article from 1938 gives a verbal description of the cabin on the mail planes ,but it's very brief. Also has a couple more photos and a nice cutaway of the passenger transport Edited November 15, 2017 by Dave Fleming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
