The Hindenburg (LZ-129) was the largest aircraft ever to fly at 803' in length and 135' in diameter. Carrying a total gas capacity of just over 7 million cubic feet, the Hindenburg was completed in 1936. Powered by four 16-cylinder diesel engines producing 850HP each, the aircraft (along with LZ-127 Graf Zeppelin) pioneered transatlantic passenger air service. She carried hundreds of passengers and traveled thousands of miles before being destroyed in the tragic fire at NAS Lakehurst, NJ on May 6, 1937.

This Winston Classic kit of the famous LZ129 Hindenburg results in a stunning 48" long display model. Megatech designers have engineered this kit to the standards of today's discriminating model builder. Features like laser-cut lite plywood bulkheads, contest quality balsa and formed plastic detail parts make this model simple to assemble for anyone with balsa kit building experience.

Extra details like clear celluloid (to simulate rotating propellers) and black nylon string (for control linkage and antennas), and quality covering tissue result in a model you'll be proud to finish and display.
