1/520 T572 AMT USS Akron or Macon - ZRS-4 or ZRS-5
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
From the late 1960s/early 1970s. This is a very good model of the famous 'Aircraft Carriers Of The Sky' and contains parts and decals to build either airship. AMT went to a fair amount of effort to provide the separate parts that make each airship unique. The Sparrowhawk aircraft hangar door is molded separately if you wish to super detail the hangar bay. Never started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing the two 'assist rudders' which are nothing but flat rectangles; easily made from stock plastic or card stock. Otherwise complete with all other parts and includes decals and instructions. The Macon and Akron carried their own complement of F9C Sparrowhawk fighter aircraft, which could take off from a large hook while the airship was in flight. Recovery was accomplished the same way and the aircraft were stored in a hangar inside the ship.
