Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair+
The 4th issue dated 1967 and featuring the Mattel logo on the top and all four sides. This issue is from the classic 'Four Star' molds and uses the same box art with a different layout. This is great model featuring retracting landing gear, rotating wheels/props, three man crew, optional position cabin door, two survivors in life rafts and nearly flawless fit and finish to all parts. Molded in gloss silver and clear. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. NOTE: the decals are intact but have typical age microcracking. The Albatross was the primary sea rescue aircraft of the Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service, a branch of MAC - Military Airlift Command. Operational service began in 1947 and Hu-16s saw wartime action in Vietnam.
