The Haul, or what you've recently bought.

This is something I pre-ordered way back when I actually had some money. That was about eight months ago and it finally came in. This is the academy 1/600 scale USS Enterprise. I originally ordered it hoping it had the beehive tower, but this is the later refit. No big deal; I'm still gonna enjoy building this:

I got this from Hobbylink Japan. Once I requested it to be shipped; it took a total of three days to get to my door. Fantastic service!

While I was at our latest mini-Hobby Day, the guy who owns the tire store next door to our Hall came by. He gave me this kit, free of charge:

 

 

The price was right! Even though I already built one; I'm still going to do this one too.

I had one of those in my teens.  If I found another I would do it without the message board or replace it with an LED option.

Has anyone ever determined exactly what the scale was of this kit?

[Mark Deliduka 347]

Phil, thanks! That might be an idea here.

 

Rusty, I haven't found out yet. I would love to know myself.

The Goodyear blimp, in its current configuration is 192 feet in length. Measure the length of the model and, as my 7th grade teacher said, "do the math".

This one would be the GZ-20 which were first launched in 1968 (according to Wiki).  They were 192' 6" long.

Old Model Kits lists it as 1/169th.  Doing the math, as Dick said, puts it about 1/171st so close to N scale but slightly smaller.
