The big Graupner catalogs were also my holy grail in the 70s and 80s during my growing up in Denmark. I had "Der Kleine UHU" and after working a full summer vacation and saving up I bought their first 1/8 scale road glow car with the HB.21 engine and black Varioprop 14S 40MHz radio. They really knew how to produce a captivating catalog.
Thanks for posting this! I had the Filou model when my Grandparents took me over to Germany/Europe in the summer of '76, I built up the wing and the rudder and stab before I flew home to the States at the end of the summer, my completed wing was up in the cockpit of the Lufthansa 707 with the flight crew!

I still have my first scratch built modified Hi-Fly. I had used a different airfoil: Eppler 387. It'll be 30 years old this year and in need of foiling...
I found my FIRST airplane in here. Dandy. My brother bought it and partly built it around 1977. Then I bought it from him a year or two later and built the rest of it. :)

Da werden Erinnerungen wach! Ich hatte u.a. Den Motorsegler Mosquito gebaut, den Karton hab ich heute noch und bewahre div. Holzreste darin auf.

Cool, we still have a old Dandy flying in my RC club :)
Jaja, die guten Alten Zeiten! - Befor die Leute Handy und Computer suechtig geworden sind. War die beste Zeit damals! Gruss aus Alaska!
Leider fehlen die Auto und Schiffsmodelle 😔
