I received my very first Airship model in the post today. :) The Revell Goodyear Blimp. I am hoping to get it done up and enter it into next years local modeling competition.
I can't seem to find the scale on the box or paperwork though. What scale does it come in at?

If its the old Revell Blimp with the Revolving sign, the AIRSHIP site (http://spot.colorado.edu/~dziadeck/airship.html) lists it as 1/169th scale, which is practically 'N' scale (1/160).
I look forward to seeing how it comes out.

Cheers Smuggler. Still tossing ideas around in my head how to glue it together, fill the gaps in the joins and still light it up. Came up with a couple that should work.
