Hi Matt,

If you could post the NSFK glider and HS123 in the downlaods that would be excellent. I have some plans for stick/tissue models from the era but have never seen anything like this.
Do you have any photo's of the glider being used by NSFK or HJ members you could post?

Cheers and thank you.

Michael

I'm planning to use some of the photos posted in the thread as an introduction to paper modeling talk, maybe in an IPMS event. Maybe also the ones on the Vitange Models section.

Thank you all for sharing.

Recently purchased a book "Modellflug in NS Fliegerkorps" which featured the accompanying photograph (albeit quality if average due to wartime paper used). The book was published in 1941. The NSFK members are making papercraft aircraft, which appear British including a completed Fairey Battle.

A few of the armor models in this series came up on this forum in 2013. 1942 paper models The poster was offering to send electronic copies if you would help out in the cost to get them copied. I did and I have several of them they are photo copies and are not in the best of condition. I cleaned them up in photo shop and they look very good. It was surprising that the build method was not that much different then how we do it today. The kits reminded me of the Wilhelmshaven models from the 1950's.

I managed to pick up a NSFK paper model sheet of the Polikarpov 1-16 'rata' in almost mint condition (no tears or creases). It must have been kept rolled in a tube since the war.

The model is very detail and would make into a detailed paper replika of the real aircraft.

20 + years ago, I was in an antique store and they had a complete set of ships and maps like you see in the old war pics with the command staff planning strategy. Each ship was labelled in it's own box (Enterprise, New Jersey, Gregory, etc.). Wish I'd had the money....

Jim, would you be willing to share the scans you have the WWII models? I am new to the group and did not know how to directly message you.

There were approximately 30 aircraft models, 6 ships and 11 army models.
The scale for aircrafts was 1/33,33, the scale for ships was 1/200, the scale for army items (tanks etc.) was 1/20.
Sometime after the war some of these they were (more or less legally) reproduced and are now occasionally found on internet sites...
Read more about it in the article by Axel Huppers, pages 55-58 in: Zur Geschichte des Kartonmodellbaus, Heft 1, ed. by Arbeitskreis Geschichte des Kartonmodellbaus. - Hamburg: Scheuer & Strüver 2001.
Kind regards -
Papercaptain
there were a couple of these models around a few years ago on some sites
