Does anybody know where I can find reasonably good photos of the cables to the control surfaces of the Hindenburg? I'm building the Revell Germany
1/720 kit and would like to add as much detail as possible. Any other exterior detail photo sources would be appreciated also. Thanks.
Although I don't recall whether it includes control-cable photos, the following book may be of interest if you don't have it already:
Archibold: 'Hindenburg: An Illustrated History' (Warner Books [USA],
1994; 230 pages)Several used copies can be found at
Charles Metz
As an extension to this thread, does anyone know of a source for drawings of some of the German Naval Zepplins used in World War I? I know that there are no kits in existence and am facing the fact it will have to be a scratchbuild project. I will need drawings to start with...

Reasonably good drawings are in "The Zeppelin in Combat" by Douglas Robinson. IIRC, teh 3rd edition has the best drawings - the 4th, published by Schiffer, doesn't have them. Also, Google for "airship" and "zeppelin" together.

Ken Munson did a book on lighter-than-air ships. The drawings aren't really too detailed, but they sure give you a nudge in the right direction.
