The LZ38 was the first zeppelin to bomb London in 1915, leaving 7 dead. This airship is depicted here with a Takom P class zeppelin in 1/350 scale. The kit does not have many parts, but there are many small and delicate PE pieces.
A build thread is here: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=14049.0
I have photographed the model against a black background, as if it were in the night sky, and photoshopped out the supporting rods.

This was a challenging kit, but I found it enjoyable and it is certainly something different.
I hope you enjoy this diversion from more standard aircraft fare. Thanks for looking in.

Gorgeous work on the model, which I watched in the build log with great interest. And the photo session style adds a lot to the overall impression. You have definitely built an unusual model - warmest congratulations!

I second everything Przemysław said, and have to tell you those are some of the best model photos I've seen, Ken; they really give you a sense of the monstrous size of the real things. The thought of taking one on in a B.E. makes me realize just how courageous those Home Defence pilots had to have been.
Great job.

Your Zeppelin is brilliant, Ken -

Thank you for the positive comments, everyone.
I read on a website that the gas bags were made from the lining of cows intestines and it took 250,000 cows to make one zeppelin!

Great work and striking photography !

This reminds me of my grandmother telling me that they looked like giant sausages in the sky! That is a truly impressive and different model superbly photographed. Many congratulations for such a brilliant project.

A bit late to the party here, Ken - just catching up after a long holiday. But I have to commend you on a very attractive model. And the way you've photographed it - really amazing pictures of it. Well done, as always.
Cheers,

Brilliantly done Ken. Looks so menacing in your photos. I’m going to have to look for one of these now.
