A few more paints for the 2024 Albatross I just upload on fs.2. I could find no Albatrosses with a NZ connection?

Gorgeous model and shots, JanKees! What a beauty! I've been eyeing this up and given my partner's love for Grumman boats I should probably get it.

One Albatross I know for sure with an NZ connection was John and Joyce Proctor's N4WT, which included NZ as part of its world tour and even flew at Warbirds Over Wanaka 1996. Hopefully someone considers a repaint for it as there are a few reference pics online.

During the Cold War, it was part of the initial equipment of the German Navy.

I'll see what I can do.
