Beautiful. The obvious question is-will you build an Akron/Macon for them land on?

Is that "land on" or "land in"? My favouite of all aircraft; they look good. Pity not available in a larger scale. Have the plastic Williams kit and wood Dumas Aircraft kit...something in paper out there perhaps?

A 1/700 Akron in paper... looking forward to see it built! Will you use a kit?

WOW!! That is amazing work at 1/700th scale. I tip my hat to you, sir.

I look forward to seeing their aircraft-aircraft carrier (Akron or Macon). I always thought this was an interesting system. It is too bad the Navy had such problems with them. Great recon vehicles...for the time.

Keep up the great work.

Actually, it's neither land in or land on the Arkron or Macon, it was hook up to! The Sparrohawks on the ariships did not normall have landing gear, but hooked to to a trapeze lowered from the airship, or were lowerd on it and released.

And it just occured to me, some of the Navy Blimps were fitted out to luach and hook up Piper Bubs (Forget the Navy designation for them!) during WW2
