Aaron give me a opportunity to made a great USS Macron a unique dirigible of US Navy, and with you Brother USS Akron the only operational Flying Carrier in history. Carring five Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk fighters development for use in this airships.





The building of ZRS-5 started in 1933, at this time Macron is bigest rigid airship in the World, used by Navy for recon, and scouting. Macron have some unique features like a internal hangar bay and recon pod basquet, for recon duties this pod like a small ballon is suspend from mother. Was an artifice to conceal the Airship above the clouds and download the pod just below them.







The Macron lost in 1935 in a storm in cost of California, debris found in 1996 with amazing conservation in ocean floor.

Excellent work! A fine model of a historic airship. I like the innovative display stand that allows one of the Sparrowhawks to be displayed separately.

Good work but I think that the color of the two Curtiss must be different.
One with red on top of the wings AND fuselage but the other with blue or white .
