VEB Plasticart and others

The PLANES presented in this collection were made in East Germany by VEB Kombinat PLASTICART Plastspielwaren in the 1970's and 1980's. These were plastic kits that contained pieces that had to be glued together to form the shape of the airplane. Most models were using 1:100 scale. The box usually contained the pieces, a glue, a silver paint and decals to decorate the plane in various airline colours of your choice. Multilanguage instructions were included for east Europe.
If the model was constructed correctly then the propellers were rotating, the wheels were turning and (some) doors opening. You could choose to build the aircraft with the landing gear assambled and open or without landing gear, built in closed position. |
