1:350 WW1 Zeppelins from Takom

[LN-KEH]

Takom continues to surprise us with its choice of subjects.

1:350 Zeppelins; the P and Q class becomes half a meter long in that scale - in the same scale as many WW1 ship kits.

The Q-class is of interest to me as L-20 drifted ashore in Norway and some bits and pieces are on show in the museum at Stavanger-Sola.

Oh, my word.  They really ARE hitting my buttons.  Granted that I'd rather have an R-type, but a P-type is a fine warmup...and after building the Mark I kit in 1/720, it really won't be that large.  An airship is like a conventional ship...it's long and thin.  Easy to put on a shelf.

[Piotr Mikolajski]

Fortunately there's no R-type, so I don't have to wonder where I'm going to put the box and then where I'm going to put the kit

Well, as a boy, I would have loved kits like this!  Was really into zeppelin's and things of that nature back then, but their wasn't much available! Definitely something different!

WHee HEE! Lets go.

Wow, I've never really felt the urge to model WW1 aircraft, but a Zeppelin? Now you're talking 😀

Very into this.  Where are the 1/350 Be2 and assorted nightfighters to go with it?

So now we can make the zeppelin spaceships from Iron Sky.😀

[Peter Roberts]

We need some 1/350 RFC Fighters!

I wonder how much these babies will cost?

You'd hope they would be reasonable, very low parts count looking at the sprues.

[Marlin]

Yes

Now I know what to ask  for.

Jumblies are a brilliant company to deal with, but their pre-orders can take a long time to fulfil sometimes.

Had a Hasegawa kit, waited nearly 6 months. But it did eventually arrive and more than likely not their fault especially with Hasegawa

My P Class has alighted at Martian Towers, with the Q Class on its way as we speak. I followed @Homebee's link on the kits but w.as somewhat surprised when I learned that we are supposed to eat the kits. Here: " It is very simple to make, but it is very suitable for fast food party production."! Now, I have been at this game for fifty five of the sixty years I have been on your planet and thought that, in modelling terms at least, I had pretty much seen it all but that is a new one on me!  I can confirm that the kit does look every bit as good in the flesh as it does on the pictures, although it will not be as simple to build as the blurb makes out.

Argh. So close and yet so far.  Some 1/350 airships at last, but my particular interest is for the Schutte Lanz variety. 
All the same, I’d love to get hold of one of these.   I hope you will be sharing some build pics down the road.  You lucky fellow!

There will a full work in progress build of at least one of the kits.
