Sorry to be so long in responding Joel. Yes it is 72nd scale.
There are some pictures at http://www.bramptonscalemodelclub.fsnet.co.uk/
scroll down to Scale Model World 2007. David is the fellow in the green
fleece on the third picture. The pictures are hosted at
http://gallery.atpic.com/15987, where there are higher resolution images.
There are some more pictures on the Club Show page, click the link on the
left hand side of the home page.
regards
Steve

Hi Steve,
I really liked your PV2 et.al. but I was wondering if you had any more
pictures of the SS 4 blimp made by David Denchfield. Was it 1/72 scale? I'd
appreciate any info you have on it.
Cheers,
Joel
