Hi All,

And hi, Goncalo Mendes. Thanks for the information about the German vintage model site. I very much like the boats and I think they are worth building.

Best,

Score and fold,

This model appear as "new" in the Shreiber-Bogen catalogue nº314, 1930, and the image of the assembled model is from the Schreiber-Bogen catalogue nº90, 1933.

From the image it looks that the model isn't a true scale model, due to the size of the buildings, people and aircraft. More a toylike approach?

Thank you very much, Gonzales, for pointing us to that little gem!

A little "warning" to everyone who wants to build this model:
Those are not scans but photographs! I.e., they might be slightly distorted (though they look quite good at a first glance).

To everyone who might be curious:
The three planes included are
- a Focke Wulf A16,
- a BFW (Messerschmitt) M18, and
- a Junkers G31.
Which perfectly answers the question about a possible scale, too!

Thank you very much for sharing. I will attempt to scale it

I have seen somewhere on kartonbau forum that the scale would be 1/180...
