It has a wire in the stand and into the R-100.

As mentioned elsewhere, it's held up by a heavy internal wire. There's an in-box review and parts photo at

One thing to note: the mooring mast is noticably out of scale for the airship (not sure whether the airship is too small or the mast too large for 1/500 scale).

If you're interested in this subject in a different medium, I've got a card-stock model of the mooring mast and various British airships available for free download at

Just remember, it's a 40 year old kit--with the flash to prove it.

Along with those, how about a 1/48 Space Ship One?
