Title: British S.S.Zero 1:350 scale kit
Post by: Derek66 on September 16, 2020, 09:24:34 AM

This is the first in a new range of Classic Airships "SHED kits." with 3D printed parts in nylon and Fine Detail resin. They include  superb water-slide decals and this one has a choice of markings for either the S.S.Z.39 (recorded the longest duration operational flight) or the S.S.Z. 59 (landed on HMS Furious.)
For more details please go HERE (https://www.classicairships.com/) to my website and choose the S.S.Zero...

ONE model is included but here are the two markings options...

The die-cut decal sheet even includes a few numbers for my UBIII submarine!  Most of the markings are pre-cut - the rudder and elevator flashes however, need to be an exact fit so I ask for those to be cut around by hand.

Pretty cool!  It's always nice to see somewhat unusual subject matter being released.

I always wanted WNW to give us a Zeppelin.  The only question would have been in what scale.  1/32 would not have been super practical.   :)

Something big enough to be impressive and convey the ominous size of the real thing would be great.

Like 1 meter long or more.

Will someone give us one?
