- It's a bigger target
- It's slower and less maneuvrable
- The blimp can't be armoured because it has to be light
- Holes will (most likely) degrade it's performance more than an
equivalent hole on a jet - this depends on a fair amount of assumptions
about their construction, however.

PS. about the to-be-released Hindenburg mini. My comments about the
size were based on the AIRCRAFT mini-kit box. If they do it in the ship
mini-kit range, it could be up to about 20 cm long or roughly 1:1200
