Product Description

The Albatros Counter Destroyer 1:200 Card Model Kit from Orel Publishing is a highly detailed naval paper model representing the French Navy leader destroyer Albatros, commissioned in 1931. This historic vessel was part of the renowned Aigle-class counter destroyers, which marked a major advancement in French naval engineering between the world wars.

Designed with improved hull contours and reduced top weight, the Aigle class offered greater stability and superior artillery performance compared to the earlier Bison class. Albatros served for decades, including a long period as an artillery training ship, before being decommissioned in 1959 after nearly 30 years of service.

This 1:200 scale card model captures the ship’s elegant lines and complex superstructure with exceptional accuracy. With 18 A4 sheets and English-language instructions, it offers a rewarding and challenging build experience. Due to the high level of detailing, this kit is recommended for experienced model makers.
