LZ-129 Hindenburg - scale 1/1000

cults3d

In my model series in 1:1000 scale, the largest airship must not be absent. History: LZ 129 Hindenburg was a massive German commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship, the lead ship of the Hindenburg class, the longest flying machine class and the biggest airship by envelope volume ever built. It was designed and constructed by the Zeppelin Company (Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH) on Lake Constance's shores in Friedrichshafen and operated by the German Zeppelin Airline Company. The airship flew from March 1936 until it was destroyed by fire after 14 months, on May 6, 1937, while attempting to land at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester Township, New Jersey at the end of its first North American transatlantic journey's second season of service with a loss of 36 lives. This airship disaster marked the end; it was preceded by the crashes of the British R38 in 1921 (44 dead), the US airship Roma in 1922 (34 dead), the French Dixmude in 1923 (52 dead), the British R101 in 1930 (48 dead), and the US Akron in 1933 (73 dead).

Especially the 1:1000 scale models are very time-consuming. So I wanted to see if there are any dear enthusiasts among you who appreciate my work and support me a little bit.
