In the summer of 2004 something unusual visited Sweden. It was a Zeppelin airship on its way to Japan. There was a world fair in japan in 2005 and the Zeppelin was used as a big flying ad for this. I found an 1/200 scale kit from Revell and made decals for it, after all now it had a connection to Stockholm. I later learned that when it still was a German airship it was called "Bodensee". The previous visit of a Zeppelin to Stockholm was in 1919. That airship was also named Bodensee. It is a bit funny.
