72modeler Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) If there are any of you out there like me who are awaiting the release of the 1/72 Special Hobby kit, here are some excellent detail photos of the Albacore, including some cockpit views I have never seen before. Link is via the Axis and Allies Paintworks site. I don't know why, but I have always thought the Albacore was a handsome beast. I hope you find these useful. Anybody heard news as to when the kit might be released?

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I agree - some excellent shots there; thanks. I believe there is also a 1/48 Albacore inbound (Trumpeter? - certainly read it somewhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it! Been waiting for most of the ones on their "future" list, especially the Sunderland- not holding my breath, though. I do hope the A-26, if and when it finally appears, is better than the Italeri/Revell kits; hear that @RidgeRunner? Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweener Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Many thanks for this! I've also been waiting for it to be released again. I have a special plan for one... That is, if I ever get to building the RAF collection I keep intending to start before getting distracted by 1 off 1930s American projects... That, and an airbrush would be a must. Any advice on one? Ill let you know if I hear anything on the Albacore or if I see one for cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
