Has anyone of you guys built a paper model before?
I purchased a paper model from a Co. in Canada
that sold GPM paper models 1/32nd scale CH53E,
but everything is in Polish ( I think ) , any info would help,
I have been to several paper model sites, even FAQ sites,
but no help.

I know we sell some at the shop. Those are balsa wood, with tissue paper coverings though. Prowler, I have no Idea how to build those paper models. Although remember that after you get done you can have your dogfight, complete with burning fabric control surfaces!

Hi Prowler

A mate brought me back a Spitfire Mk V paper model from a trip to Poland... I have to admit, I took one look and said to myself "I'll save this for posterity...)

They are amazing feats of printing, but as to whether you can build a scale model out of them...

I'm not convinced they'd stand close inspection - but if the oil supply ever runs out...

All the best
