Artist's Comments

the Hindenburg,Pride of Nazi Germany in luxury transatlantic passenger travel service. unfortunately,due to an embargo of helium by the United States,Germany was forced to use highly inflammable and explosive hydrogen as a lifting gas. the tragic destruction of the largest airship of all time on May 6,1937 at NAS Lakehurst,NJ,spelled the end of large rigid airships to this day.

if you wish to try again,this is an excellent and simple kit. RevellGermany,1/720th scale. very easy and straightforward to build,nothing to fight with.

... No wonder they called it the "biggest man-made cloud ever". Even 70 years on, it still looks incredible. ^^

the swastika is simply a part of 20th Century history,as to who just happened to be in power in Germany at the time.

She also looks more impressive than anything else - even the Zeppelin NT, and I did see one of those for real once... ^^

if only they had been able to obtain helium......but Uncle Sam refused to sell any to anyone,for fear it might be used for Warlike Purposes. {Nuclear Research,perhaps?}

Meh... More likely out of fear the Germans would start to use Zeppelins in the same kind of way as the USS Macon and USS Akron. Imagine the Germans having been able to build similar craft, with the ability to carry divebombers to just outside the US coast, and without having to worry about them getting hit by incendary bullets...
