1/72 PA160-150 Monogram Hu-16B Albatross - Grumman SA-16B - Blue Box Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair
The 3rd issue dated 1967 from the superb original 1957 'Four Star' molds. This has long been one of my favorite Monogram models to build because of the incredible fit and finish, very good detail and scale appearance. Features retracting landing gear, rotating wheels and propellers, three man crew, optional position door and survivors in a life raft. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. 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.
