This model of the class 143 or better known as type 143 was designed by Peter Brandt long before he worked for HMV. But already back then the level of details was convincing and the model was very popular for quite some time. Together with Peter we decided to completely redesign the model for a new HMV edition. Of course extensive illustrated instructions, an HMV detail level, and the well known Lasercut Set is imperative.

The kit has everything you wish for in a paper model. A lot of parts are optional and you can build an easier version. Still it's not suitable for beginners. Building the S61 Albatros requires some experience in building HMV models, but is on the other hand a manageable project.

You can either build the S61 Albatros or one of the sister ships S62 Falke, S63 Geier, S64 Bussard, S65 Sperber, S66 Greif, S67 Kondor, S68 Seeadler, S69 Habicht, or S70 Kormoran. So building the whole squadron shouldn't be a problem after all. In order to make it possible to build the different versions in a proper way we included complete replacement parts of the superstructure and the stern for every single version - so you surely don't need to glue on numbers.
