Paperwarbirds 

No toxic glue or messy paint. Use just a pair of scissors and a glue stick, or a craft knife and pva to build a stunning replica in a fraction of the time it takes to make a plastic kit.

All the aircraft models on these pages started out as

flat sheets of paper!

New Product Available

Less-cost, less-stress, less-mess

We provide true scale detailed model kits of rare, esoteric or colourful models of combat aircraft from World War One and other eras such as the Fokker Triplane pictured below.  These kits push the boundaries of what is possible to achieve using paper and card.  last year we expanded the range to include some of the less well known aircraft and subjects often neglected by manufacturers of plastic kits. We have also released kits that our visitors and customers have asked us for such as the Fokker Dr1. Now in September 2007 a fifteen month project to accurately model the only Dutch medium bomber of World War 2 has come to completion and I am pleased to announce the release of the Fokker T5 in 1/48 scale.

There are several advantages for paper kits over plastic ones.  No toxic glues, paints or solvents need be used, the amount of mess made is minimal and if a mistake gets made, a new set of components can be printed out at minimal cost. Paper and card models can be made using simple tools such as scissors, a cutting board and an OLFA circle cutter. I am often amazed at the detail that some model makers manage to get into a paper kit.  Paper modelling uses a range of techniques to produce a pleasing paper replica.

Coming Soon!

Fairey Flycatcher

Modelled in miniature, using just scissors glue and fingers.

In a departure from my usual World War One subjects, here are pictures  of a Fairey Flycatcher.  The wingspan is 69mm (about 2 ½ inches).  The model will be available soon in a range of scales and paint schemes and will feature a choice of engines.

I am always happy to receive pictures of your builds of my designs and I'll be delighted to send you any kit in our range if I publish your picture on Paperwarbirds.
