A 1/1250 scale set of waterslide transfers for the British airships in service or built from 1918 to the end of airship construction following the crash of the R101. The sheet has sufficient airship insignia to complete up to 2 airships in RNAS/RAFmilitary service plus at least one other with a civilian registration.

A 1/1250 scale resin model of a US-L-class, non-rigid airship ("Blimp") from 1942.
When USA entered WW2, five advertising airships were acquired from Goodyear and used for training and maritime patrols. L-8 was used to ferry spares across the Pacific to USS Hornet for aircraft on the Doolittle Raid and landed on the foredeck ahead of the bombers to deliver essential parts.

A 1/1250 scale resin model of German Navy Zeppelin airship, L11 (factory number LZ41). L11 was a P-class Zeppelin airship and was one of the very few to carry a disruptive camouflage scheme in WW1. This camouflage scheme was applied later in the war when she was in use as a training ship in the Baltic. One of the longest lived wartime airships, she was eventually scrapped when worn out.

Based on a french kite balloon design from WW1, these were used by British, French, Italian forces during WW1 & WW2. The Germans used them in WW2 to defend their U-boat bases in France. 2 balloons per pack.

These balloons were flown from LSTs at the invasion beaches to deter German dive bombers. 2 balloons per pack.

A 1/1250 scale model of a barrage balloon mounted on a motor launch by Coastlines Models CL-BB04. This model is based on a photograph taken inside the entrance of one of the U-boat bunkers built in France during WW2.

This is a 1/1250 scale Zeppelin P-class airship, LZ47, from 1916. This airship was built for the German Army and was unusual in that it carried a camouflage pattern with green and brown splodges on the natural fabric coloured background. The pattern resulted inthe nickname "The spotted cow" being given to this particular airship.

A 1/1250 scale model of L 11, a Zeppelin P-class airship in service with the German navy in 1916/17.

L11 was the longest serving airship in the German navy during WW1. She entered service in 1915 and took part in bombing raids on Britain and scouting for the High Seas Fleet. Towards the end of 1916, she was withdrawn from North Sea operations to train new airship crews and she was painted in this experimental camouflge scheme, which she wore until scrapping in September 1917.

A 1/1250 scale metal model of the airgroup carried on Atlantic Conveyor when leaving the UK for the Falklands in 1982. Consists of 8x Sea Harriers in grey, 6x Sea Harriers (shrink wrapped), 2x Wessex, 2x Chinook & a mobile crane.
