1/350 Fairey Albacore (x2) 3D Printed
[Albacore-350]

While not nearly as well known as the aircraft it was designed to replace, the Fairey Swordfish, the Albacore served the Royal Navy during a critical period of World War II. Albacores of 826 and 829 Squadrons, flying from HMS Formidable, played a decisive role in the Battle of Cape Matapan, conducting dive-bombing and torpedo attacks on the Italian naval base at Massawa in February 1941 and, on 28 March, torpedo attacks on the Italian battleship Vittorio Veneto (including one hit) and scoring a crippling torpedo hit on the 10,000 ton cruiser Pola. Formidable, Furious and Victorious each carried at least one squadron of Albacores when they supported the 'Operation Torch' Allied invasion of North Africa in November 1942 where one of the type from 820 sqn is credited with sinking U-331.

This set includes two Albacore models complete with a torpedo mounted under the belly. These 3D printed models require no assembly but compare favorably with injection molded kits and exceed the detail of most comparable resin and white metal models by a good measure.

While the surfaces are not perfectly smooth (3D printing is done in layers), the plastic used can be sanded and painted much the same way you would handle resin or styrene.

NOTE: While we currently maintain limited inventories of most items, some items may be "printed on demand", which usually requires 10-15 business days from order to shipment.
