For the model builders.

I got this from a Yahoo group I am in. A WWI Zeppelin in 1/144 scale and is four (!) feet long.

I've built a lot of Czech, Ukrainian, Polish  and Russian Aircraft and AFV kits.

They are always good qualityand always have something differently interesting as a subject.

So far I've made an AVIA B534 (the first aircraft with an enclosed  canopied cockpit), Soviet Polikapov "Gull"  X winged bi-plane fighter complete with skis, Finnish Winter War (1939) Blenhiem Mk.II. with skis, Soviet aircraft recovery and workshop truck, Skoda Bizon 150mm. SP gun, Soviet PT133 flame tank, BT 2 (world's fastest tank at 69 MPH), BT 5 rocket assault tank and T26B light tank.

Over here in the west, anyone setting up a plastic model kit company, will automatically churn out the same old Sherman Tank, Tiger Tank, T34, Spitfire, P51, etc.

It is nice to go into a model shop, these days, and find something uniquely different.

The Zepplin is just an example.

I've seen a 1:35 Scale T28 bridge laying tank and also a T35 5 turreted landbattleship on sale here in the UK. I already have 2 T35s in 1:76 Scale and they're quite big.

The Klingons have many ways to fry a cat. I prefer to use an L7 Fast Battlecruiser!!
