Various Graf Zeppelin kits?
Posted by djrost_2000 on Friday, July 9, 2004 10:48 PM
I've heard the Revell Graf Zeppelin leaves a lot to be desired. I also heard that Heller and Robbie make a version of the Zeppelin. I'm wondering which kit is the best kit, and if there are any garage manufacturers that might make a good resin Zeppelin.

Thanks,

Dave

Forgive my lack of shipsavvy here, but are you talking about the airship Graf Zeppelin?

Or maybe it's the unbuilt German WWII aircraft carrier that I seem to remember something (but not much) about.

Hello J-Hulk. I'm talking about the unfinished German WWII aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin.

TY,

Now I gotcha!
I knew I knew (or thought I knew) something about that thing...
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I haven't been much help to you...well, lemme know if you have any questions about the airship Graf Zeppelin!

Hey Dave

if you want a good Graf Zeppelin kit, i'd go with the H-P Models offering. it's resin, 1/700 scale. i think it sells for around $160. if you have any questions on her, or need any plans or pictures, please let me know. Flugzeugtrager Graf Zeppelin is my specialty.

also here is a link to my Graf Zeppelin website, here you'll find tons of info and pics of her, including pics of her sinking.
