Rigby model in French!
Here is a curiosity for fans of the Wallis Rigby models - pre-punched constructions in the 40-60s. He published in the US under the Garden City Press label, and in the UK under the Brockhampton Press label. But how about this: A book of "The Comet" plus a flying wing, from 1960, in French, under the label Volumetrix (I think - it is hard to read):
I stumbled across it using "picclick" to search French auction sites - you just Google "picclick maquette carton" and all sorts of wonders appear. This one was on Frecnh eBay and sold Sept 7, 2019 for a mere 12 Euros and a single bid The name Rigby does not appear in the description. Does any one know of any more? Or other language editions?

Volumetrix
Many various items for education purposes until the early seventies. Deliciously old fashioned now, from the categories used by that time, up to the design, I like them so much.
Just to say, too, that your inbox is filled up, you need to clear it a little to get some more in.

Rigby and Volumetrix
I didn't know Volumetrix and Rigby were connected and so couldn't guess some Volumetrix models originated in Rigby.

Maybe, some designer will redraw some of these. Could start with the Dan Dares ?
