Wow is it great to see an update!

The build quality is simply magnificent! I don't see a seam anywhere!

Looking forward to the next update, however long it takes,

Alright - you moved out and finished this beauty (unlike me)  :)
In all the decades I seen Hindenburg pictures.  Nose and tail landing gear did not register with me until seeing your pictures.

Your Hindenberg looks really good. Just keep it away from open flames and huge manatees.

That's got to be the best looking Hindenburg I've ever seen next to the movie model at the Smithsonian, and yours is certainly in much better shape! I especially like your work on all the windows.

It's no small feat to get such a sharp, clean build out of a model like this. I've got two in the stash and I'm trying to get up the nerve...

Interesting, I had no idea the Hindenburg had registration codes on top. Since I'm vertically challenged, I miss things like this easily.

You finished this baby up as a real testament to your incredible talent and skill! Bravo!!!

Thanks Brian.  The Graf Zeppelin, Hindenburg and Graf Zeppelin II all had the registration on top, I not sure if any earlier ships had it, I've not looked into it too deeply yet.  None of the kits supply the third registration decal though.  Not too sure if around the right way.  On GZII the top code ran the other way (D at the stern), but I seem the recall a pic of Hindenburg showing the D towards the bow, can't find it now of course.
