Martian Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Finished this morning, my rendition of the L.59,known as Das Afrika Schiff due to the purpose for which she was build; to re-supply General Paul Vorbck-Lettow's forces that were fighting the British in East Africa. Model is from two Mark 1 Models R Class Zeppelins with a section from one added to the hull of the other to give the correct length. Thanks for looking.

LorenSharp Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 MArtian I'll have to say, every time I think you've broken the mould and can't make an airship any more perfect, you go right on setting a new standard for an outstanding airship. And in desert colours which I never knew they had in WWI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Loren, the pictures I have of the L.59 show her in darkish colours and in the absence of any colour pictures I mixed up a dark tan as being a logical choice for the mission for which she was specially built.
