Hydrogen being so dangerous, and helium being in such a short supply, their usage in the military field was out of question and their withdrawal from civil service inevitable. Pity that none of them was preserved.

Everything in my model, including engine gondolas and propellers, was modelled after detailed plans so I am 100% sure about the proportions.
Talking about airships, don't forget that all the propulsion went into actually moving them, as opposed to winged aircraft, where a big part of the power is used for keeping them afloat in the air.
Anyway I am afraid this discussion is going beyond the purposes of this thread. When the time comes I will start a WIP thread for my Zeppelin, and we will discuss it there
