AW Albermarle was created by LaserCraft



Obviously some of you know about Tony B's Shackleton build and how well it's going, so I thought I would share with you another project I have on the go at LaserCraft, this is not a customers model however, this is for me.

It's of a fairly unknown WW2 light bomber and glider tug the Armstrong Whitworth Albermarle.

Anyway, it all started with a 3 view and an idea...

You got something wrong there, laser -

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!
