Rigby Paper Model Club


Model Airplane News

December 1937, page 31, pict 11.

One of the most unique models we have ever seen is shown in picture no. 11. It was designed and built by W. Rigby of 45 Valleyfield Road, Streatham, S.W. 17, England. It is made entirely of paper. Obviously this is not Mr. Rigby's first model. He has been making this type of model for a number of years and has become extremely expert in producing this type of plane. He is probably the foremost paper model designer in the world. Designs for these little ships have been printed in many countries. The best part of it is that this model flies beautifully. It has a wing span of fifteen inches. Decoration details give it a very realistic appearance. Even the flaps are indicated on the wing.


Note: This model was originally named "Quicksilver."

It was part of the Daily Express Model Book published in England in 1938.
