You ought to find a publisher. The model is fantastic. I was terribly disappointed by the very flawed Schreiber model of this class released about ten years ago in 1:200 scale, and by the equally flawed resin model. This class finally has a great model. I would really like to see one of the "height climbers" or L70 in 1:144! L13 carried out the most damaging raid on the UK, of the war, all by itself in 1915. Mathy was the greatest war zep captain.

Thanks again! The instructions will still take some time as I've a lot to work otherwise and am not able to make them on my portable notebook, so please be a bit patient.
JHS, yes, I see the flaws of the Schreiber kit. I don't want to say that it's a bad kit (I don't have it), but it certainly has some errors. Some are unneccessary (number of corners), some are due to the simple construction (or the lack of a skeleton, good for children or beginners). But a lot seems to be caused by missing research... My model would never have been what it is now without the help from A. Horn and H. Redner. But I hope I can provide the drawings and notes with my model which I had to make, so that others don't need to start from scratch when looking for information on this class of airship... it's all a matter of time!

Dear Thorsten,
You've made amazing model! Some years ago Ralph Currel with my help made a model of Russian Airship "GIANT" Imperial Russian Airship 'Giant' I also dream someone to make a model of this one: SSSR-V6 OSOAVIAKhIM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Дирижаблестрой: СССР-В6 "Осоавиахим" (1934) — Фотоальбом If you are interested - I can help with info on this one! Best regards, and many new intersting projects! Sergey |

Sergey, thank you very much!
Ralph Currels models are really great, he achieves a beautiful result by a - in comparison - small number of parts. I won't bee able to build another airship in the next time, there are too many other projects to finish before. If you have good reference material, I'd be happy to look at it though! Thorsten |

The instructions are finished. I had a friend correcting it, but we both are no native english speakers. Would someone here with good english knowledge and experience with aviation modeling help me by reading it and telling me what to change before I release it? If all goes well, I can upload it next week (still have to to finish some additional drawings).
Best regards, Thorsten |
