Excerpt:

"1922 Blaue Maus Model (Blue Mouse)
Built by the students and Teacher Wolfgang Klemperer Technical
University of Aachen (Germany) the Blaue Maus training glider for the
first time, utilized fully cantlevered wings (self supporting wings
that did not rely on external struts or bracing). Another distinctive
feature was the forward and massive landing gear struts on which ash
skids were mounted. This beautiful glider smacks of that 1920s big,
bold aeronautical style and is well worth the look.. "

All of their 300+ models can be downloaded and printed out on 8.5 x 11
card stock (aka coverstock) available from any Office Max/Office Depot
etc. store.
Download the pdf file, print, cut out with scissors, glue together in
about an evening - maybe two.
