[PREMIUM] 1/100 SNCASO "Dever" Papermodel

Dever (Decollage Vertical - Vertical Takeoff) is a 1950's French supersonic VTOL interceptor design with a combination of rocket and jet engine propulsion. Equipped with single Matra missile, this aircraft is more akin to a manned missile (with another missile on the tow).

This is some unconventional design to anticipate the unavailability of conventional airfield after enemy attacks, reminds me of German's triebflugel design.

i don't know what they consume back in 50's but i imagine it's some strong stuff...


yes, it can stand

[FREE] 1/250 GAF Nomad Papermodel

GAF (Government Aircraft Factory) Nomad is Australian utility aircraft first flown in the 70's. It was immediately considered as a problematic aircraft because of incorrect calculations being used, increasing stability issues, thus compromising its safety (out of 172 aircraft assembled, 32 involved in an accident with total loss, let that sink in).

Was not really in a mood for a complicated papermodel so 1/250 it is, the models have two variant inside, N-22A and N-24B, both based from Indonesian Navy's 800 Squadron, flown by Penerbal (Pusat Penerbangan Angkatan Laut-Naval Aviation Centre). 

N-22A


N-24B, basically the stretched N-24A

[PREMIUM] 1/100 Focke-Wulf Flitzer Papermodel

The Flitzer is a jet aircraft designed by Focke-Wulf for German Luftwaffe, a mockup was completed before RLM (Reichluftfahrtministerium-Ministry of Aviation) cancelled the project (thus the Flitzer never receive any RLM designation).

A routine advice on why you should always put weight on your model...



Like the Ki-98, the file includes two models (based on Messerschmitt Me-262 camo), one based from Luftwaffe's JG7 (Prague-Ruzyne 1945) and French Centre d'Essai en Vol-Flight Testing Centre (Bretigny-sur-Orge 1945). Ecardmodels


[PREMIUM] 1/100 Manshu Ki-98 Papermodel

 A ground attack aircraft (then redeveloped as high-altitude fighter) Manshu Ki-98 was developed by Manshu (Manshukoki Hikoki Seizo Kabushiki Kaisha-Manchuria Aircraft Manufacturing Company) in mid-late WWII, the component of the first prototype was in manufacture when it was ordered to be destroyed to prevent capture by Soviet force in 1945.

When i design the papermodel, i thought it would be pretty big for a 1/100 papermodel (because you know, high-altitude fighter), turns out it's roughly as big as P-51.






There's 2 pattern inside the file, the top is based from 47 Sentai 
aircraft and the bottom is based from 29 Sentai. (Ecardmodels)
