Flying Gliders - Introduction

These gliders are simply described as "Flying Gliders.  There are 6 in this set, as shown.  I purchased 4 of them from an estate sale.  They are really colorful and nice looking gliders, but they are really fragile.  I haven't tried to fly these because I don't want them to break.  If anyone who reads this blog knows how to get hold of the Junkers Ju88, or the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk from this set, I would love to complete my set.

Power Prop Flying Gliders - Counterfeit #6 F-15E Strike Eagle

This is an interesting counterfeit.  The package was printed using the exact same colors as the authentic WWII Power Prop Flying Gliders.  The back of the package shows all of the jets that are supposedly in this collection and the Hellcat which doesn't really fit in.  This was the only glider that I got from this supposed series but that is ok because I don't want anymore of them.

Power Prop Gliders - WW1 Glider Counterfeits #6 HSS-2B

This is called the HSS-2B.  I could not find a plane named anything similar to the HSS-2B, so I am assuming it is a counterfeit of a fake plane...??

Power Prop Gliders - WW1 Glider Counterfeits #2 Spad S.XIII

I also received many of these, which are supposed to be the Spad 13, or Spad S.XII.  These are pretty brutal as well.
