Awesome stuff!  :) Love the aircraft! Their designs are worth renditions in a bigger scale.  :-*

I have to say mate  that is looking friggin awesome! It's how I would envision a WWII airship carrier to look if it were real. Very Iron Sky like.
Hopefully, this will be at expo so I can see the chaser lights in action. You've done more than me in so far as using a chaser unit. I've never even used a flasher unit yet, despite the fact I have one in my drawer ready to use. Very slack I know.
Looking forward to seeing the final result. I hope you keep the patience to finish it as you imagined it to be ;)

Unique build and genre :)
Should be central prop in a movie.  Love whole concept :-*

Attention to interesting features and detail holds ones attention to look it over.
Hull, superstructures, defensive guns, flight deck, stern fins, and 12 propellers all complement each other to result in over all correct appearance.

This is one of my favorite builds of all time!

You really made it all work, from the multiple rotors to the cool little airplanes and the warning stripes around the elevator.

What an amazing aircraft carrying airship!

Very cool, Brian. I wouldn't want to land on it though. Looks incredibly dangerous, but thats what makes it so cool.

The helicopter-like-airscrews are a rrreal good idea, to compensate the probably much too little body of the airship and it's gas-cells to carry and lift all this load (landing deck, control tower, hangars and elevator, the crew's rooms, engines and fuel and so on) without help.
I guess, the gas-cells are only big enough to prevent a lethal crash and the big propellers are to vary the height. Am I right?
And the idea of modified what-if-fighters: outstanding!

Nevertheless: all in all grrreat!

Thanks all.

Norbert...there are so many things wrong with this concept in physics terms.

My thoughts were that the rotors were to provide stability, to stop roll as the ship would be very top heavy.

Sorry buzzbomb, I won't upset you. I like the airship very much.
 
But physics is one of my hobby and when I build a what-if-model, I try to build it close to a possible reality including the physics. Therefore, I'd tried to find an explanation to myself because of the combination of the gas-cell and the propellers.
