Nice display - looks like the kit required some attendance? I got the big brother from Trumpeter...

Thank you! Yes, basically I had to lay hand on each part. Every little part had some mold parting lines. The windows didn't fit at all mainly because the windows were not quadrangular in the cell. I have the feeling, that this work was consumption more time than the rest 🙂
I added a new picture ([img1]), where you can see the result of a little filling and sanding 😉
Yesterday I bought the Albatross in 1/72 by Revell 😮. scalemates.com/kits/115171-revell-4380-hu-16b-albatross. But you got it in 1/48? I had to look it up. This might be huge!

Sehr schön. Das gleiche Projekt mit dem gleichen Bausatz habe ich auch noch vor. Hast du die Abziehbilder von Hahen genutzt?

Richtig. Das Einzige was mich an den Decals von HaHen störte war, dass man sie randgenau ausschneiden musste. Der Trägerfilm geht über den kompletten Bogen. Ansonsten war die Verarbeitung gut.

Dann hast du noch die zweite Variante über und willst sie bestimmt los werden. Oder?

I have the 1:72 in the Monogram boxing 🙂 - but I will not build it, too much effort required to get a decent replica 🙁
The 1:48 Albatross has the same length but wingspan is less than the Catalina ...

@Thomas ... I read it too. The kit has rivets all over the fuselage etc. Hm. A lot of sanding and scribing.
@Bjorn ... Noch ja. Ich werde noch eine für mich bauen. Diese war ein Erinnerungsgeschenk für einen ehemaligen Piloten der SC 102😉 Ich habe an dem Modell echt Gefallen gefunden. Trotz der ganzen Nacharbeit/Anpassung und so weiter.

Built as "a gift to remember" for a former pilot on the German version of the Albatross. He flew the Albatross during his career at the German Marine Corps.
