IF you can find them, apart from the two Revell Zeppelins.

A few of the other ones are reasonably findable:

The Hawk Zeppelin was reintroduced in 2007, is in their current catalogue and can be found new on US retail sites, though how many they've actually sold and where you can get them over here is anyone's guess. It's fairly pricey.

The USN Blimp was reissued by Glencoe in 2007 and there are a few about if you keep your eye on ebay.

The Revell Goodyear blimp turns up on ebay from time to time, but it's expensive because of the lighting kit.

The Bandai Capt Harlock ship can be had from international sellers on ebay.

I think they are still findable : apart the GoodYear and Bandai, I could find them all;
The R100 comes with a lovely ground building.

There's the Aerobase 1/1000th Graf Zeppelin in photo-etch too, if you're feeling brave....

Rickshaw,

My oh, my!  Those are beauties!  And, of course, rather hard to get these days.  That 299A seems the thing of legend now and the VB 10-01 seems almost at the same level.

There was a R100 at the US Nats this year.

Philip,

That R-100 was very nicely done.  From the write-up of it there on the table, its maker did a lot of scratching on that tower to make it better than blob of plastic that was the original kit.  It really showed.

And that image also captures another kit I have - the 12 Squared RB-1 Dayton-Wright Racer there in the lower left.  In 72nd scale that thing is TINY and it was really done up nice.  Rather inspiring so I got a whole buncha photos for my eventual effort with it.

[PR19_Kit]

The Frog built versions of the R-100 kit had the tower moulded quite crisply, I've had one built up for many years being a big fan of the R-100.

But the later Novo and Maquette moulded versions seem to lack something in crispness and are usually neck deep in flash as well. Trying to carve all the flash out of the girders of tower can be a major job with some mouldings.

OGL of the UK SIG has a rather tasty R-100 in his care I think, it managed an Atlantic crossing no problem  .

Interesting programme on TV last night about the Zeppelin threat

Very much so Lenny, but at least Ch 4 do these things to "tickle the taste buds". As far as I can tell a lot of it was from a book I have "First Blitz"
