K-Ship Profile, lacking in detail A good book to check out is US Navy Airships by James R. Shock, available here: http://www.airshiphistory.com/index.htm ... 10003.html I have the softcover edition. They have a new hardcover version which apparently includes additional drawings. Haven't seen it so I don't know if it would help but its still a good reference and the softcover has plenty of pictures and unit histories. Also check the Airship Modeler Forum at http://www.airshipmodeler.com There is a good thread on building a K-Ship http://www.airshipmodeler.com/forums/sh ... ght=K-ship It has some good side views that should be of use. Good photo page http://airship-research-lab.com/new_page_4.htm Wish I could find more but Navy LTA, especially the non-rigids, has always gotten shortchanged by history. Shock's book is probably your best bet.

Do you happen to have scans of the K, M, or N class drawings? The above is exactly what I need. The previous drawing was eyeballed from a photo which is Certifiably Not Good For Shipbucket.

I just ordered the soft cover; don't really feel like dropping an extra $25 for a hardcover and a few foldouts, but whatever. We'll see. I don't mind buying books anyways.

This is what Ryan's been up to lately? Hmm, maybe it'll be safe to talk to him again then.
