The rear nacelle of Zeppelin LZ.113 is displayed in the Mus?e de l'Air in Paris Le Bourget.
It is a genuine WWI veteran, complete with machine guns and 3 maybach engines. A small part of the rear nacelle has been cut away to allow vistors to walk through it...
anyway, the LZ.113 was about 600 feet long, so that would make a pretty expensive reconstruction ;)
hope it helps
