Historical Information

The De Havilland DH.91 Albatross is a four-engine passenger aircraft designed at the request of British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) in the latter half of the 1930s. The aircraft made its first flight in 1937 and entered service in the United Kingdom just before World War II. It was used to operate both transatlantic and European routes. During World War II, some examples were adapted as transport planes and served to carry important cargo and passengers on key routes.

Thanks to its innovative wooden construction with an aerodynamic shape and excellent performance, the DH.91 was regarded as one of the most advanced passenger planes of its era, bridging the technological gap between interwar period aircraft and those used during World War II.

Valom DH.91 Albatross is the perfect choice for intermediate and advanced modelers who appreciate historic civil aviation and unique aircraft designs from the 1930s and 1940s. We rate the assembly difficulty as 4 out of 5, due to the small parts, photo-etched accessories, and demanding work on interior details.
