Mark I - P & Q Class Zeppelin Night Intruders

Mark I - P & Q Class Zeppelin Night Intruders

- Nuno Lima

I always had a soft spot for these machines as I think the technology applied to build them is simply amazing. I know that nowadays it doesn’t look much, but at the time this was the state of the art.

But let’s go to the model. Mark 1 are very kindly giving us two for the price of one, and have included in the box both P and Q versions. These come on two identical sprues offering the same parts so it is up to you to decide what you want to build, either two P versions, both Q versions or one of each. Note that the Q version is the challenging one, as you have to be brave enough to cut the balloon in the middle to add the plug to make it longer.

The sprues are nicely presented in a creamy colour plastic and the quality of the parts is really good as well. Just be aware that this is not for the faint-hearted modeller as there are plenty of small pieces - the kind that fly off the tweezers with a ping never to be seen again.
