Thanks Pér. Yes mate, these little Chipmunk models don't take long to put together.

Bruno originally released a 1/1000 model of the rigid US Navy airship USS Akron along with her sister USS Macon in the same scale. I've enlarged the USS Akron to 1/800, gave a bit more of a 'silverized' appearance to her skin, added a couple of bulkheads to assist rigidity and added a little representation of a Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk to hang off the launch and recovery trapeze that was part of these fascinating giant flying aircraft carriers. The finished model is a shade under 1 ft (30cm) long.

Currently available from Ecards for one US buck.
