I'm pretty sure Verlinden did a set in 1/35, and I THINK CMK does one in 1/48. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Monogram 1/48th Albatros has what you are looking for. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glweeks Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks Mike & Phil, the only thing I could find was a verlinden two men in a raft (usn) and a generic pilot set which I also ordered for parts. Feel like Dr. Frankenstein ........ I need that wrist! On through the fog..... g.l. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewahl Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hi, Gary, The new review of the Monogram Albatross reissue was just posted here on the DF a couple of days ago. Open the review and you will see exactly what you are looking for: two downed Navy flyers in a rubber life raft. The kit is supposedly 1/48. The figures and raft are in the kit! Problem solved.

Weedeater Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) - Sorry Ed and Gary, but the Monogram Albatros review you are referring to is a "re-issue" of the original 1960's kit, in 1/72 scale. I WISH that monogram was issuing a 1/48 Albatros. Trumpeter has listed a 1/48 scale HU-16 kit release, but that is not a sure-thing solution to Gary's "1/48 aircrew-in-a-raft" request. Best of luck with your endeavour. Model on, Brothers of the Sprue. Edited September 16, 2011 by Weedeater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewahl Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Ooops, my error. Thanks, Ken, for the correction. Of all the kits I have in my collection, the Monogram Albatros is not one of them. Sorry, Gary, for the bum steer. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
