The time spent filling and sanding isn’t really reflected in the photos and I still have a little way to go. Tedious but not problematic. The main join looks to fall on a line where the painting demarcation lands. I’m roughing the surface up a little too. In trying to keep with the fact that they were probably not ‘shiny’.

The demons in the kit are said by reviewers to be in the photo-etch, which looks very small!

Some nice progress, Paul @yellow10

Interesting choice Paul, looking good so far !

WOW ! You are not wasting any time with this one... Incredible. I have often thought about building an airship from scratch, using balsa wood and covering it with tissue paper like we did with airplane models as a child. It may make things easier with the seams, but that's where the easy part would end. The main reason why this has never happened is because I don't have the time needed for such a project. Working with small PE parts has always been hard for me.

These early airships were SO cool looking... unless you were under them and they were unleashing their bomb load.

This is an excellent and fitting tribute. As they say "Lest we forget".

Carry on my friend ! I can't wait to see the next steps... 🙂

This is going to look even better when you start painting her up... 🙂

Thank you for doing this project, and for all of your assistance with the group.

Yes sir, they idea has crossed into my mind on several occasions... and I was sober too ! Just kidding, I'm a "tea totaller", and both my wife and I don't drink or smoke.

This is really interesting. Love the good work on display.

The progress on your model is certainly making it look awesome, Paul (@yellow10), but the PE in this kit has to be insane. Get out your magnifiers and fine tweezers.

Wow! Now there are two, my friend @yellow10! Looking excellent so far!
