Designer Dr Matthiesen made a large number of models for the "Nationalsozialistiche Fliegerkorps". This non-military organisation started glider clubs everywhere (with the well known Grunau baby gliders), training large numbers of future air force pilots. They also handed out large numbers of free paper models, even to schools: it was important to have as many people as possible able to recognise various types of German and Allied planes. Trained like that, many became invaluable as spotters for anti aircraft batteries.
The models in question were quite good - but had no landing gear: the silhouette in the air was all that counted. Scale 1/33 1/3rd. One sheet each, ca. 50 x 70 cms.
I still have a few: go to my site zeistbouwplaten.nl, Aviation, Collectors' Items.

These are real close to as found, I'm getting lazy in my old age.

I thought I'd post these just like I found them and maybe someone could do a better job of cleaning them up. I am working on them but things are not going well....lol

I did a little work on these to clean them up and reduce the file sizes.

The ones I have are all originals. Scanning / copying that size is expensive here, too (Holland), but I can inquire if you like. Contact me.
