Title: Wright Flyer I paper model 1/50
Post by: Flamingo on March 29, 2023, 03:33:19 AM

This is my Wright Flyer I of 1903 from a paper model. This thread has been repaired because the picture hoster let me down by closing down.  :(


More pictures further down.  :)

The kit is from MS Oldtimer Models, by Manfred Schmidt, published in 1999.

Only black lines are printed on coloured paper. Here is the 1902 glider to show the concept.

Another great one from you.
I don't know what picture hoster you used but this happened to me with Imgur, it's really annoying.

The first was photobucket suddenly asking (too much) money, and now it was abload.de which closed down business, but with an acceptable explanation and very early announcement.
