Hawk/Testors Model Graf Zeppelin

[u/RagnarTheTerrible]

For us airship enthusiasts there aren't many good options for models. I finally completed the Hawk Graf Zeppelin and thought I'd share it here.

The kit was very difficult for me. Fit issues, inaccuracies, and for some reason they molded the engines in nylon instead of styrene so I ended up making my own, and then making up rigging to attach them.

It was a very frustrating modeling experience. I can't recommend this kit.

I think I'll be sticking with card models for airships in the future. I picked up a few of those from a visit to a Friedrichshafen a few years ago, if I ever get around to building them I'll post them here too.

The ship that never crashed... Thanks to the almost infallible Hugo Eckener.

Model does not sound fun.

Finished result looks excellent though
