Unsung vessels like Lancastria and Alcantera that played a vital part in moving troops or escorting convoys around the world, often encountering tough opposition that they had never been designed to meet!

Albatros 1/1250 HMS Voltaire, Armed Merchant Cruiser, 1939 (Alk128)
New for 2009! Modelled in 1939 onwards form. Voltaire met her end in 1941 in an encounter with the German raider Thor, which out ranged and outgunned her. The size of the merchant cruisers worked against them, as with little armour, it made them easy targets.

Price and delivery to be advised!

Although the model is listed as 1939, the funnel is in Lamports colours and it is more likely that the model is in the AMC diguise as an ordinary convoy member to avoid being singled out by an enemy raider or submarine. This type of scheme was usually adopted in 1940, particularly in the Indian Ocean, until Japan entered the war.
