Some fun with paper, glue and scissors

I was just browsing and came across this stuff

If you're feeling lucky or have some skill at making paper models, you might wanna give it a try. I know, I will

 

It mentions some freebies at FG website so I went there and found a couple of pre-war non-combat planes

A Sopwith http://www.worlds-smallest-air-museum.com/FREEBEES/TABLOID/

and Bleriot http://www.worlds-smallest-air-museum.com/...EES/BLERIOT-LG/

 

Then I got a bit carried away and... Kodron G3-A2

Desc is in Russian - but the schemes are self-explanatory, just make sure the part sheets are printed at the same scale.

I used to draw up my own plans and do these way back in the day with spinning props, retractable landing gear and I even weighted and balanced the models to glide slightly. :)

I used to make all sorts of small scale ww1 planes with clay/noun (I donno the word in English) And had airwars with them :P

I first made the wooden construction, like on real model planes/real ww1 planes, then I made the "canvas" :P

 

I used a needle to make bullet holes :P I donno how many "planes" my thrustworthy "Sopwith Camel" "Shoot" down :P

 

I tried making a paper plane just now, but didn`t quite work out, it became close to a fokker EIII. I "sent" it out on it`s first sortie.

I`ll post a few pictures tommorow.. Youre gonna think im weird..
