Title: NEW ZEPPELIN KITS
Post by: rlrimell on July 23, 2016, 08:27:48 PM: Hi Guys,

Mark 1 Models of the Czech Republic has announced three 1:720 scale injection moulded kits of a P Type Zeppelin. Same moulds for each but different boxings and decals. Despite the small scale they look very promising and sit well with Revell's Hindenburg. They tell me if sales are good ,more types will follow...

Find them under 1:720 scale models at www.4pluspublications.com

Cheers,

Ray R.

Post by: Derrick on July 24, 2016, 02:14:14 AM: These look interesting, I wonder if anyone makes scale aircraft, to show how big the zeppelins are. Curious why they chose 1/720 instead of 1/700 which is a ship scale. They would go well with a diorama, that has sea vessels.

One question, are there other kit makers who make airships in injected plastic in this scale or larger from the First World War period ? I believe I have seen the later Hindenberg as a kit.

Thanks

I just tried it, and (after setting it to English) it worked fine.

Post by: Rick Milas on April 01, 2018, 07:58:43 AM: I don't know how many people have noticed this, but Hannants has announced a future release by Mark 1 Models of an R-type Zeppelin. It will come in two boxings. Personally I can hardly wait until their release. I'm quivering I'm so excited.
