Model Forum / General / Models / June 2007Albatross Query
There are some interior pics in the SS In Action book on the Albatross. If you have access to one, see page 14. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > There are some interior pics in the SS In Action book on the Albatross. > If you have access to one, see page 14. > > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. === I suppose you are talking about the WWI versus the Grumman Albatross (1930s the WWII). Ray Austin, TX === If he is talking about the Grumman one, it ain't from the "1930s the(?) WWII". Try late '40s to '70s. Isn't the German WWI a/c spelled with only 1 's'?

Grumman's Albatross was built in the early '50s and was still in service here and there into the '90s.

Is he talking about the WWI or the Post WWII Albatross/Albatros? Thanks, Ray Austin, TX === My guess would be, since he used Albatross, with 2 s, he meant the Post WWII a/c. I know Squadron has a book on the HU-16, but I can't say about the WWI a/c, with only 1 s.

If the original poster is still on this thread please contact me. I can provide plans and detailng material.

Well, to be a SoB, I'll throw in that Albatros ~did~ make a floatplane, the W-4 (looked like a D-II on floats, but the wings were a bit different) But I sent him some drawings of the JR9F (HU-16) and he didn't correct me, so I guess that's the one that he meant. > On Jun 14, 4:49 pm, "maies...@netscape.com" <maies...@netscape.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > But I sent him some drawings of the JR9F (HU-16) and he didn't correct > me, so I guess that's the one that he meant. === Did receive the drawings and printed them - very useful, especially the one with the outline of the interior - sections - of the fuselage. The A/C I am talking about is the Grumman Albatross (with two SS). Many thanks to you and all that have commented.
