What is the best source of paper aircraft kits in 1/48 scale?
I am mostly looking for InterWar Years (Pulp) aircraft.
I can live with ~1/35 to ~1/60 scale kits. |

Fiddler's green has many interwar pulp aircraft which can be individually purchased and downloaded. Some may need to be resized, have to check the individual models, though there were some pics of 1:48 models on the website. My google-fu is lacking tonight and I can't seem to remember the URL. |

The site says "Plans come in two sizes." I know I can resize whatever, but what are the two sizes? |

There's some people called Moduni (based in Germany) that carry a large range of 1/50th paper model aircraft. I bought a Ford Trimotor from them (still unbuilt I'm afraid) and they do other inter-war aircraft as well.
Can't provide a link but I'm sure you'd get them up putting in moduni in your search engine. |

Schogun,
The answer to your question is a bit odd. I used to build alot of FG planes and heres what it really boils down to.
All their planes come in two PDFs One they call LARGE which usually takes several sheets to print out, the SMALL size is usually on one page. Here is the catch. All the planes are basically scaled differently based on fitting them on one(in the case of SMALL) or two+ sheets (in the case of LARGE) of standard paper. The actual PDF tells you what size to scale the print out to make the model a 1/60 scale model. You can do a bit of math or check thier website to derive what percentage to print them at for other scales. Does that make any sense? Its hard to explain.
