Graffiti Subway Trains

Hi

Are there any papermodels of the New York Subway trains from the 1970s, covered in graffiti, as shown in the book Subway Art by Martha Cooper & Henry Chalfant and the movie Style Wars?
I know graffiti is a contraversal subject, but this style is not seen anymore, and is very specific to the era.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know if this is the proper era but it seems to fit your description

Papercraft from wikimedia commons?! That's not something we see every day...

It's the right train, but blank, I was hoping for more detail and actual graffiti.
Might be a good base for something though

Thanks

This site has a nice train, although it's small and no graffiti

This is the right train, and a 4 car set, might have to add my own graffiti

I know the cars you're talking about, but I've never come across a paper model of one.

I've been searching for a long time to find a paper model of the old New York Style Subway Train like from the 1930s-40s. I haven't had any luck either.

As far as I can assatain the cars of the right era are the R46
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R46_...ity_Subway_car)
And R44
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R44_...ity_Subway_car)
Henry Chalfant website has lots of pictures of the trains
https://www.henrychalfant.com/, although this is not the complete record as Chalfant photograhed over 800 trains!
I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for yet, might have to make my own!
