1/720 Revell LZ-129 Hindenburg

This is my interpretation of Revell's Hindenburg Kit. It's not a bad rendition but, I am planning on rebuilding another one in the distant future. I didn't own an airbrush when I painted this kit, and the brush strokes are a little annoying. The kits was a pretty simplistic build.  Decals go on pretty easy, but can be a little bit tricky to get the correct position.  Also I had to do a layered application for the swastika, again not easy to get the alignment correct but trial and error worked. I also had a fun time trying to find the correct size for the location. It took studying the original photos for a long while to get an idea of it's scale.

I tried to get some interesting views of this airship and seem like they came out pretty good. 

This is my first post and I hope I don't seem like I'm being too simplistic.
