Go for the 1000's of FREE models before you start paying. Some of the vendors mentioned here sell models that are, well, why bother paying when you can go to places like Home (Paper-Replika) and find anything and everything for free, and of superb quality. If you wanted to purchase High quality models, with good service Gremir and ECardmodels are great places to shop at.

I really THANK you ALL for your replies.

Actually it was my mistake. When i said "early age" i mean aircraft of WW2 (Mostly - not only) Not of WW1. Sorry for the misunderstanding guys - my bad. I can see many WW2 aircrafts in the places you said too. So its ok.

I want to ask a last thing. What paper do i have to use? 180 is ok? I intend to buy this:
Q6592A HP Superior Inkjet Paper Matt 180 g/m A4 (100sh)

180 is good to use, though getting a lighter weight paper (like 120gram) can be useful for smaller parts.

And welcome!

180gsm should be fine, a good medium weight paper.

try the boxy simple models first,
back every model up on discs.
get a good printer and use thick cardstock.
most people prefer crazy glue, but to start, hot glue works good until you perfect your skills.
small sharp scissors and xacto knifes will be needed.
you will need the following software;
pepukura
google sketch up
jzip
primo or nitro reader
get a glass or metal cutting board
a ruler with a metal edge for folding.
if you need to make tubes, curl them like ribbons on the ruler or table edge,
review the articles on this site, and ask questions, it really helps.
you can search by topic in google search something like-
-ww1 plane paper models-
and click on images to go to the sites if you like something you see there.
