Betexa "The printed version"? What's this?

[N96HBK]

I am thinking about purchasing the Betexa space shuttle one day, but I am confused with the new "printed version" option and the ()ks in stock......

I think it's like this: there only is a printed version you can buy, there is no digital version available. For other models which also are available in a digital version, there would be another button left from it so you could decide whether you'd want the printed or digital version. But the shuttle only is available as a printed version.
And what they have in stock, well, I guess the number says it all. The 'ks' is just their abbreviation for 'copies'.

Okay, thanks for the information. I really wish the Shuttle is available as a digital file....

You can always buy the printed version and then make a digital scan for yourself. This way you still can reprint when you messed up a part. I always do that with my bought paper model kits.
(Just don't share them. That would make it illegal.)

Yup, sharing copies is always illegal.......but there are so many of these printed kits being shared.......we need to put a stop to this.....

That is correct, N96HBK,

The Czech Betexa Raketoplán Atlantis 1/72 scale card model (NOTE: it's larger that the well-known FREE digital Marscenter models!) IS a printed model. The sheets are fairly large, larger that common 'letter' or European A4 size.

Here's my old thread, with a link directly to the site. The paper model includes detailed assembly instructions in English and German, as well as in Czech:
1:72 Space Shuttle Available Again!

And here's a direct link, in English: Spaceshuttle Atlantis - Paper models - Models of airplanes - Civil aircrafts ,BETEXA

Good luck - it's a wonderful model, with cockpit interiors, wheel wells and landing gear in the nose and under the wings!

Happy New Year!
