Thanks for info!
A VERY welcome kit! Hoping for a B-version to make a Norwegian aircraft.

My goodness -- when will the model companies stop reading my mind!? I hope they will release one for USN's dark blue scheme.

There is only one true colour scheme for an Albatross. But it has to wait until they release the -B version.

What astronauts were picked up following their mission by an HU-16 instead of a helicopter?

That would be so nice; but, only if they reconfigure the cowlings to fit the Wright R1820-82 engines used on the 10 Canadian machines and 6 Japanese examples. Hopefully, cottage industry AM will take notice.
