[FREE] Mitsubishi 1MF2 Hayabusa Papermodel

Aware of its aging fighter aircraft fleet, in 1927 Imperial Japanese Army asked Kawasaki, Nakajima and Mitsubishi to study a new fighter aircraft design. Mitsubishi team led by Nobushiro Nakata assisted by Jiro Tanaka and Jiro Horikoshi (who then in turn design A6M Zero) conceived a parasol aircraft powered by 600hp Mitsubishi Hispano-Suiza water-cooled V-12 engine, built around a metal frame covered in fabric while the wings was made of wood, the first prototype was completed in May 1928 with top speed of 196mph, the fastest of all design submission. Unfortunately the prototype fell apart in flight.

This is an other papermodel design from Argwenza Kainaka, he only specify it as a non-scale model, but by calculating its wingspan, i guess it is around 1/60 scale, the pdf file contains the model pattern and its instruction manual.

Designer note: "This model is actually a simple model. I'm so sorry for an inaccurate, or missing details."

[FREE] Tachikawa-Kokusai Ta-Go Papermodel

A simple and cheap aircraft made of wood and fabric, this aircraft were designed for kamikaze purpose against Allied forces when Operation Downfall, the proposed Allied plan for the invasion of the Japanese home island kicks off, fortunately for both sides, the war ended before Operation Olympic starts.

The original Ta-Gō, powered by a Hitachi Ha-13 Ko (450hp) and could carry a 500kg bomb was destroyed in a bombing raid while the revised Ta-Gō with smaller airframes, engine, and bomb was left incomplete.

This model was made by Argwenza Kainaka (you can find his Facebook page here), he didn't specify the scale though since it was originally a scratchbuilt papermodel (but he speculated it might be 1:60 from its size). The pdf file includes the model itself and its instuction manual.

[FREE] 1/800 Sverdlov Class Light Cruiser Papermodel

 

Sverdlov Class (Project 68bis), built in 1950-s were the last gun cruiser of the Soviet Navy. While provided with modern radar and anti-aircraft gun Soviet Union had to offer, they were already rendered obsolete by the entry of service with the advent of missile age. Of the planned 40 ships of the class, only 14 completed and remained in service until the 80s.

One of the ship, Ordzhonikidze, was sold to Indonesia in 1963 and renamed IRIAN in 1963 in preparation of  impending invasion of West Papua with the main task of hunting down Dutch aircraft carrier Karel Doorman. 

Actually this model pattern were made as somekind of an study, since i'm still trying on SketchUp and Inkscape, due to such "experimental" nature of the model, there is no assembly instruction available, but you can see the photos from the tesbuild phase as a reference. As for the cannon part, i use  0,3 mm mechanical pencil lead.

[FREE] 1/250 Heinkel He P.1068.01-83 Papermodel

Description from luft46.com:

"In 1942, the RLM contacted Junkers to design a four-engined jet bomber, which became the Ju 287. Meanwhile, Heinkel also did some design work on this specification. In June 1943, the RLM issued a different specification for a two seat bomber with a bombload of 2000 kg (4409 lbs) and a speed of  800 km/h (497 mph) over a range of 2500 km (1554 miles). Siegfried Günter of the Junkers Design Bureau in Vienna designed at least four versions of the P.1068 by the end of 1943. Some of this design work was later used for the Heinkel He 343. On the third design, the P.1068.01-83, the wings and fuselage were reduced in size in order to increase the speed but keeping the same payload. Of course, the smaller fuselage meant a reduced fuel supply, and so the range was less than the first design's (He P.1068.01-78). Four He S 011 turbojets located on the leading edge of the wing were to provide the power. Remote controlled, rear firing armament was included with this design also. However, the aircraft was lighter by four metric tons, which was of a benefit given Germany's scarcity of raw materials at this stage in the war."
