Hi guys. It's been two years wich I started to search for paper models.(any papermodel) and I shared what I found in my channel. But I need somethin to know.
I want the history of GPM models, Bruno Vanhecke and more about Mr.Halinski.
There is no history about the magazine or publishers.

(I need something like the information about the site in Maly Modelarz site.)

Thanks 🙏

Have you tried contacting them direct?

Most would probably like to share their history and how they took a path to designing.

The only persons with a history widely shared through the web is Fraulein Gertraud Lichter and Herr Karl Wittrich of the famous and enduring GELI card model airplanes, fortunately, still being printed. (Check a couple of photos I downloaded some time ago). Unfortunately, they are no longer with us but their designs will endure for centuries after starting them in 1954. They were both pioneers in designing and marketing scale aircraft in 1/33 scale which was adopted as the standard scale for most card scale models. GELI models were and still are reasonable priced, beautifully printed and not so hard to build. They might not be as detailed as a Halinski model but they are really good for any "Joe Average" modeller, especially young, who wants to stay away for a while from social networks and build some nice card model aircraft collection to be hung at any bedroom or even living room of a modeler's home.
Happy New Year!!

I had completely forgotten... Happy new year to you too.
Sure I'll search more about GELI models.

Yes dear Mike!
For now, I Just contact with Edwin Rodriguez (Hermercraft).
He design digital passenger and cargo models.

And I'll contact with GPM and Halinski in their sites. But I want an address or a way to contact Mr.Vanhecke.

Again Happy new year.
