Its prototype first flew in 1940 and serial production commenced in 1941. The Albemarle was used extensively by the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a transport, paratroop, and glider-towing aircraft, particularly during Allied airborne operations such as the Normandy landings (D-Day) and Operation Market Garden. The ST Mk.II and GT Mk.I variants were specialized for cargo and troop transport tasks as well as towing gliders. The aircraft featured a semi-monocoque structure and made extensive use of wood to limit consumption of strategic metals.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/72\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUser country:\u003c\/strong\u003e United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService period:\u003c\/strong\u003e World War II (1941–1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtras:\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit includes transparent parts (cockpit glazing) and a decal sheet allowing for several marking options\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eDetails \u0026 Recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Valom 72069 model features precisely rendered panel lines, surface details of the fuselage, and a realistic crew cabin interior.
