I remember the Albatross - the kit included a dinghy and two figures, as shown in the box art.

I remember it too and I must have had it somewhere half assembled, but boxed by Revell

Someone at the IPMS Houston meeting had one finished. So sweet. Every time I see one I remember the Yule Brenner movie that featured the Albatross.

It would be cool to build a diorama with forced perspective, put the smaller scale behind over water.

It looks like different scales but they are both 1/72nd. The Wigdeon really is that smaller than the Albatross
