The Hindenburg on Ebay in 1/150

[Poliorketes]

Only 1/150? But that's 1,65m. Should work for every pulp scenario. Damn the price...

1/150? Wussies! The Friedrichshafen Zeppelin Museum has 1/66th-scale models of the H´Burg and the Macon, the latter complete with Sparrowhawk fighters! And a horde of other Zeps in the same scale. Awesome display.

However, if you consider the amount of work that must have gone into a piece of that quality (judging from the pics), 500 Euros is rather fair price, considering what ship models of similar size fetch these days...

Collectors market. I wonder, though, how this made it to E-bay.

1/66th? Hussa, have to see it!

Go there. Seriously, if you have a vacation at Lake Constance, it´s just great. Take the Katamaran from Constance and then visit the Museum. Not inexpensive (full admission is 7,50), but you get to see a huge lot of stuff and a reconstructed section of the Hindenburg in 1:1 scale, fully accessible.

Add to that the huge number of original pieces, ingenious displays like "lift a dural assembly and a GFK assembly and FEEL the difference!", the two model rooms are just awesome. Only downside: you are forbidden to take photos in THOSE TWO ROOMS! ARGH! ::

The have an online shop:

http://www.zeppelin-museum-shop.com/

Interesting items are the 1/50 paper model of the 1920s Zeppelin Straaken Passenger Monoplane and the Dornier Delph III Passenger seaplane.

Check both the links to models and souvenirs as both sections carry models.

They also do the massive Dornier DO X floatplane and the WW I Zeppelin Straaken bomber in 1/72!
