Agree, yes it does.  Sorta strange yet looks right to be what it is.
Is modeling sweet spot of incongruent parts surprisingly working well together.  :smiley:

the wings of the Schreck FBA17 shown elsewhere were exchanged with those of a Dr.1,
leaving behind a 2/3 Dr.1 (but with extended wings  ;D )

Beautiful!!  It looks like something a "behind the lines" salvage facility would build from bits they received.  The color fits perfectly.

Concur with my esteemed colleague who is apparently an engineer of some sort, not involving trains, I think...

Ahem.

Another winner, eric!

remainings of the day : I had the booster from an old 1/144 space shuttle kit, and bits from the blimp shown previously ...
it was a fast match.

I've often wondered what the airship potential of the booster tank might be and thank you for realizing it!

Looks perfect in blue and if you had white Goodyear logos I bet you could convince people it was real.

Another winner, eric!

I like this one a lot, eric!

Slap some red stars on it and I bet you could convince people it flew with the Soviet Navy.
