I like it! 
Why do I picture the crew all sporting handlebar mustaches and black suits?  ;D

The L 143 "Black Raider" can be thought of as a prequel to the deflating tale of Baron von Blimpen (http://):

Oh I like that.

Britain faced the aerial threat of German invasion by deploying the Airbourne Leviathan HMS Warspout south of Windsor.....1940 onwards....

Scale? Well, I'm sure they have a scale.  ;D

For the ones from 1/350 subs, I figure they'd scale out to somewhere around 1/840 or so. I get this by comparing them to the classic Revell 1/720 Hindenburg kit.

Glad you guys liked this one. I had a blast building it!
