A superb set of water-slide decals giving you the option to complete the model as either SS59 or SS39 is availble in my eBay store HERE.
A Zero could stay in the air for a long time: 7 hours was its normal flying duration, but flights lasting twelve or even twenty-four hours were not uncommon. The record was held by SSZ 39 which, with full war equipment, flew uninterupted for 50 hours.
The first ever use of the term "blimp" was in relation to Zeros.

The S.S. Zero was the most successful development of the British S.S., "Submarine Scout" Class non-rigid airships of WW1. Considering how simple the first of the class were: a wing-less BE2c aircraft slung beneath a relatively small rubberized fabric envelope; the S S Zero by contrast was surprisingly sophisticated and gave good service during 1917 and 18. As well as battling German submarines (when they could find them!) they served as convoy escorts and released large numbers of light cruisers and destroyers for other duties. Bad weather seldom prevented Zeros from performing their work. In the ten and a half month period from 1 January 1918 until the Armistice, there were only nine days when they were unable to undertake their duties.A Zero could stay in the air for a long time: 7 hours was its normal flying duration, but flights lasting twelve or even twenty-four hours were not uncommon.
