Viewed alongside a battleship in the same scale, the enormous size of 20th Century airships is immediately apparent!
Made to a constant scale of 1:1250 to match the waterline ships the metal air ship models are supplied in a Perspex display case that has a nicely finished wooden base with the model supported on two pylons. Finish is good in authentic colours with transfers providing marking detail. The aircraft are of course tiny and aren't in display cases.
Not always in stock, airships and aircraft are available to special order!

Navis Neptun 1/1250 Viktoria Luise Zeppelin Airship 912 (L6V)
Neptun's fine model of the Zeppelin that was named after Princess Viktoria Luise the Prussian princess who was the seventh child and only daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm the German emperor. The airship was 148 metres long and its volume was 18700 cunic metres. Power was provided by 3 Maybach motors of 170PS. A successful airship that nonetheless only lased until 1916. During WW1 airships of this type were used by the army and similar ones (a couple of mm different on the model) were used by the navy.

Navis Neptun 1/1250 L53, a Zeppelin Airship Bomber (1917) (L8V)
The Germans decided to use black paint to camouflage their airships for night raids but they found that temperature variations between sunlight and nightime affected the flight characteristics owing to heat radiation from the upper surfaces. The solution was to leave the top unpainted!

Navis Neptun 1/1250 Hindenburg LZ129 the ill fated German airship (L1)
Another excellent model from Navis Neptun! At 803.8 feet in length and 135.1 feet in diameter, the German passenger airship Hindenburg (LZ-129) was the largest aircraft ever to fly. The commercial flights of Hindenburg, along with Graf Zeppelin, pioneered the first transatlantic air service. She carried hundreds of passengers and travelled thousands of miles before being destroyed in a tragic fire on May 6, 1937 at NAS Lakehurst. These Navis airships are built in very small quantities and, although not cheap, will always be sought after collector's items!

Navis Neptun 1/1250 Los Angeles, an American Airship built by Zeppelin (1924) (L12V)
Rather nice model of this unusual subject. Mounted on a display stand and measuring 155mm overall (6 1/4").
The United States Navy had an interest in Airships for fleet reconnaissance and (later) as Aircraft Carriers! Los Angeles was built by Zepplin in Germany and the Goodyear Company built the follow on airships in America.

Navis Neptun 1/1250 British Airship R101 (L9)
An excellent model of the R101, that crashed in France on 5th October 1930 during its very first voyage, killing 48 people. It was one of the worst airship disasters that, along with that of the Hindenberg, so coloured international public opinion of lighter-than-air craft that British employment of rigid airships was effectively ended. With thanks to Wikipedia!
Clear display box included.
