Mark Deliduka Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hey all! I'm off to a slow start this year but I finally got one done and here it is. This is the old MPC/AMT USNAS Akron naval airship in 1/500 scale. Some years back I built the USNAS Macon, her sister ship so now I have both of them. Here is the Akron: I sprayed her with Tamiya Flat Aluminum over the balloon part, then painted steel onto the engine pods. I also painted all the vents and windows on. It is wearing it's original decals. Later I'll get a shot of the Akron and Macon together. Until then, thanks all for looking and comments are welcome.

Mark Deliduka Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thanks guys! I'm glad I now have both the Akron and the Macon finished. I'll hang them next to the Graf Zeppelin in my hobby room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I had done one several years ago, that was the Macon. I finally finished the set with the Akron here. I know you'll enjoy making this Zepp. I'm sure you'll also detail it well too. James, Mark, thanks guys! Glad you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
