I really appreciate you sharing all this, as I am a WWII history buff. I may not build much of it, but I will find a way to display the model sheets.
Thanks, again,
John

So many sheets and so little time to do them all. Thank you for sharing these with us. If it hadn't have been for you, I would never had known about these.

Help with ID

I just sort of drifted into a bunch of these old paper models, they look to be from the WWII era but I am not sure. Since I don't know much about them, as in nothing, I thought maybe some of you folks would recognize them. I don't know if it is okay to share them or not so I'll just post a couple of the cards.
Thanks,
Dan

Those cards look like Micromodels' design

There are some collectors and experts on Micromodels here on the forum, who might know more about the provenance of the cards

They are indeed Micromodels cards from this set ...



If you have an original set printed during the war, or even well into the '50s DO NOT CUT THEM UP. They are worth quite a bit of money, but there are many reprints on sale and plenty of pirate .pdfs in circulation. Even the modern reprints often still have the shillings and pence prices shown on the cover, so it's not easy to prove providence of genuine old prints.

They are very interesting models to build though. Not highly detailed, or even very accurate, but they certainly don't fall into the easy beginners category.

More Soldiers

Not sure when these were printed but they seem to have been printed in a newspaper, I think they are from the 1940's

This is a italian "Corriere dei Piccoli" newspaper, for teenagers and younger children, these designs of soldiers are of the 1960s.
