Hey, maybe you should move this to the aircraft WIP threads.

Good choice Lyle - the Albatross is a great looking aircraft.

Thank you. I do like the Grumman flying boats. Wish there was a Mallard kit around.

I have to say I've not heard of the Mallard member of the family, I had to google it. I've always liked the look of the Goose but I've yet to find a kit at a realistic price - even the old Lindburg (is that the right spelling) kit goes for a fair bit over hear. It's funny really, I've always said flying boats are one of my favourite types of aircraft but I've never actually build one.

That looks great Lyle!
Nothing wrong with a simple build anyway - the best kind in a lot of ways.

Sweet Lyle! Thanks for the memories! Man, I love that old kit. I built mine some years ago too. I'll be actively following this!
