The third and final week of the ZL59 Q-Class Airship I completed the new stands and mounted the guns to the topside which completed this interesting build.

This build was a fun build. The kit itself was very good. The photo etch details are tedious to do but look great once in place. I think this kit would have been better if the gondolas had open windows and photo etch frames for the forward gondola green house windows on the nose. The fit was very good and only required a little putty for the main fuselage.

The only real disappointing part of this kit was the undersized stands. They are way too small to proper support the model and allow easy viewing of the underside details. The decals worked out very well and applied easily. Aside from the poor stands I would recommend this kit for those who want something unique to display. I hope you all had fun watching this build. Happy Modeling!

NEXT UP – Kitty Hawk’s 1/48 F-35C Lightning II

For my next build I will be building the 1/48 Kitty Hawk F-35C Lightening II. I will be using the Red Fox 3D decals for the cockpit, Eduard Brassin 3D printed ejection seat, and the Res-Kit Exhaust nozzle. The scheme will be U.S. Navy squadron VFA-86 “Sidewinders” using Furball decals. I will be adding scratch built details as well. This should be an interesting build.
