About product

Non-rigid K-class airship with special markings, 1:720 scale, Mark I

The third package from the range of non-rigid K-class airships in 1:720 scale. According to the name it focuses on machines with special, that is unusual markings, and names three particular examples. It is precisely unusual markings that tend to be the reason modelers obtain several packages of the same type, because the model then differs at first glance in a display case. The finished model is around ten centimeters and goes well with the sister packages of the same class.

The real subject

The K-class airships were non-rigid designs in which the shape is held by the overpressure of the gas in the envelope. The gondola under the envelope carried the crew and the power units, and the tail surfaces provided directional stability. The US Navy used them mainly for patrol flights over the sea and to escort ship formations, where long endurance and the ability to fly slowly low over the surface were valued. The individual machines differed in equipment and in external markings during their service, which is an attractive subject for a modeler.

Building and painting tips

With this package the center of gravity of the work is the markings, so pay extra attention to the surface. Sand and polish the envelope smooth, apply a uniform base coat and put a gloss coat on before the decals, otherwise matte edges will appear under the film. Lay the large number and letter decals onto plenty of water so that they can be aligned, and draw the excess off with a paper tissue from the center toward the edges. On the curve of the envelope a softener helps, and on the larger motifs so does a fine cut with a scalpel, so that the film does not crease. Finally seal everything with a matte or semi-gloss overcoat, which evens the surface out.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors who want a machine with unusual markings in their series too.
  • For modelers of airships and of naval patrol hardware.
  • For builders who want to practice working with decals on a curved surface.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

By that the name refers to the unusual external markings of particular machines. Exactly what they look like is shown by the decal sheet and the instructions in the package.

Yes, the manufacturer issues several packages of this class in the same scale as well as further airships, so they can be put together into one series.

Apply a gloss coat under the decals, lay them onto plenty of water, draw the excess off from the center and use a softener. Finally seal the surface with an overcoat.

It is not a condition, but on the large unbroken area of the envelope it gives a more even result than a brush.
