Some nice stuff there.

I particularly like the Savoia S.55

, and you don't see too many airships built. Especially not ones as big as that!

Jeepers, what scale was the Zeppelin and what was it made of?

It looks around 1/72 scale but could be 1/100 possibly.

The base for the Sea Fury is wrong. They modeller has used a wooden deck not an Armoured one. Picky I know but to me it looks so wrong.

The Zeppelin is most impressive!

indeed it is, ive seen at the modelshow in Bruges a couple of months ago, quite impressive in 1/72

There is, or was, a 1/72 scale model of the R100 hung in the roof of the Barnes Wallis collection at the Elvington Museum. Some feet below it is a 1/72 model of a Wellington with a note that suggests you look up and compare the size of the two examples of geodetic structure.....

You can see people look up and gasp. It's 10 feet long!

Airships are (or were....) just SO huge your mind can't take it all in.
