Eugene, great job on the blimp.  Do the lights work?  A friend of mine gave me this kit when he returned to the home that he grew up in and he brought it back for me.  Unfortunately, the decals/ stickers are toasted.

Was always a treat to see one of those at the Naval Base that was near my house. Generally it would be in for a Bears game or the air and water show.

A number Army Viet Nam scans from hundreds yet to be done:

Have had the great fortune to be on every side of the howitzers.

Didja Know?

         You can if careful, Build a Blimp or Zeppelin of any size out of LEGO! Thing is, the bigger it is the more weight and bracing internally will have to be addressed!
