Are you seriously too lazy to realize that I have my e-mail address entered into my profile?

For your laziness' sake it's adamwehn@yahoo.com

As for the search on the ISBN, it couldn't be found at Borders.com.

you really are a creep

go to http://www.airconnection.on.ca/Default.htm and click on the "AJ Press" icon, then scroll down to "Graf Zeppelin Siegfriend Breyer" click that link and BINGO there ya go. you can even order a copy for yourself. i highly reccomend this book. the Polish text is translated to the right of each entry and it's 109 pages long. the book was published in Poland and the ISBN is 8372371563

as for the scan, it's on its way to you, i have a slow connection and it's still sending...

Joe

You should have the scan now. I really hope next time you'll be a little kinder to your fellow modelers and not fly off the handle just because you can. I would have been more than happy to share any information I have with you for your model. I love talking about GZ, she is my favorite ship. This isn't some contest to see who knows more, and if I came across as a know-it-all in my first post I apologize. I didn't mean to, I promise. I was just excited to post about GZ, that’s all.

But that doesn't excuse your downright mean attitude toward me.

Yeah, my mean attitude triggered by your arrogant attitude. Getting all offensive saying, "Whoah there buddy" or whatever in reply to my simple non agressive, non nasty question about proof.

Back to the topic at hand, the color of the deck according to the models assembly instructions is Dark Grey, thus my deck will be this color. Considering that at 1:720 the planking would be fairly invisible it doesn't matter either way.

the kit was never available in in australia and no mention was ever made in most histories of read of the period but surely there are other supplies around and what about the hansa version shown in the geocities link

I'm not sure if it's the one you're thinking of but from what I see on that one site, the Hansa version is 1:1250 scale. Which to me is a bit small to be a useful model.

I'm pretty sure Revell AG has stopped making the 1/720 GZ. I got 2 kits last year and I had a hell of a time obtaining them. I couldn't even find any on Ebay.

Well I found it on a UK website, but the last time I checked it wasn't listed anymore.

would like to know where can get any version even settle for built one

how about scratch building 1

ok,but it may sound silly but how to go about since never done it before

goto this link http://www.airconnection.on.ca/Default.htm and click on the "AJ Press" icon, then scroll down to "Graf Zeppelin Siegfriend Breyer" click that link . it will show you the side profiles & rib framing of the ship. you can save the picures to my documents & print them out. can use 040 to 080" plastic sheets to make the keel & ribs than use 030 to 040" to put the skin on. if making a 1/144 scale than make framing out of either balsa wood or 1/8" marine plywood & either balsa wood or 040" plastic for the ship's skin

There is a book with plenty info. on the Graf Zeppelin by Siegfried Breyer and published by the Schiffer Publishing Ltd., 1469 Morstein Road, Westchester, Penn.
I hope you can find useful information on it for your project.
