Product Description

Build a piece of maritime history with the HMV Freight and Passenger Steamer Albatros (1:250) card model kit. Designed by Friedrich Pohl, this detailed paper model recreates the historic steamer Albatros, built in 1912. Known for her versatility, the Albatros could be converted from a 405-passenger vessel into a 100-cattle carrier, serving both as a passenger and freight ship.

After her service in both World Wars as a supply ship, she returned to civilian life in 1946. Her final cruise took place in 1969, and since 1971, she has been preserved as a museum ship in Damp 2000, Germany.

This high-quality HMV model kit features fine printing, precise fit, and realistic details across 292 parts on two A4 sheets. The kit includes German and English instructions with clear illustrations, making it perfect for experienced modelers seeking a satisfying and historically rich project.
