Product Description
To build a superb 1:350 scale model of either Zeppelin X-Type L71 over 600 mm long purchase the hull here in Versatile Plastic AND the L7O and L7I Gondola set (clickable link) in Fine Detail Plastic.
The top quality Decal Sheet fpr L71 illustrated above is available in my eBay store HERE.
L71 was the German Navy designation for Zeppelin number LZ113 and was the second of three "X" Types built: L70, L71 and L72 (LZ112, LZ113 and LZ114.) All three were designed for North Sea patrols and raids on England.
L71 when first flown on July 29, 1918 was identical to L70 (first flight July 1, 1918) except for the rear midships engine cars being moved forward from Ring 85 to Ring 100. These two airships were the most powerful and fastest Zeppelins so far built but it was decided that speed had to be sacrificed for greater altitude. On October 3 ace airship commander Martin Dietrich flew her back to Friedrichshafen for the insertion of an extra 15 meter long gas bag. She also had her original two-engine rear gondola replaced by a new single engine one and these modifications increased her dynamic ceiling from 23,000 feet to 26,200 feet.
L71 as rebuilt is the subject of a separate CLASSIC AIRSHIPS model HERE
