Power Prop WWII Glider - Introduction

This is my collection of Power Prop WWII Gliders which came in cardboard backed packages.  I found them all on E-bay and was really happy to have purchased them.  They appear to be the same Power Prop Gliders in the red & blue envelopes that I posted about recently as well but with better quality graphics.  I have 8 of the set of 12 (or 13?) and I hope to find the rest some day.

Counterfeit Power Prop Gliders (Jets) - #5 YF-23

Also a nice graphic of an actual jet.

Not exactly a jet fighter.

Contains components of the WWII Focke Wulf Power Prop Glider

Counterfeit Power Prop Gliders (Jets) - #4 B-52H

A decent graphic on the front of the package

Looks like a sickly WW2 Hayate glider

Counterfeit Power Prop Gliders (Jets) - #1 Su-24 Fencer D

Per a Google search, this is an actual jet

This is not what I expected a jet glider to look like...

Consists of badly counterfeited WWII Power Prop Glider parts

Counterfeit Power Prop Gliders (Jets) - Introduction

More counterfeits purchased from an E-bay vendor in Australia...
I was very excited when I saw these on E-bay about 2 years ago.  I bought them and waited for them to come in the mail.  I was pretty disappointed to find out that they were counterfeits.  I have 3 of the 6 shown, but I definitely don't want any more of these.

Shen Shin Glider - #2 Mitsubishi Zero

I found this glider recently on E-bay.  I have never seen one with this sort of packaging before.  I have also never seen a package with the #7 Lockheed or Lightning as a red plane.  I am curious what that red plane actually is.  You can see that the detail on this glider is very nice which tells me that it must be a pretty old one.  I'll keep a look out for more of this set.

Power Prop Gliders - #11 Type 3 Fighter Hien

I only have a picture of the envelope for this glider, as a Spitfire was enclosed.

Power Prop Gliders - #10 Supermarine Spitfire

I have no envelope picture because this glider came inside the only #11 Type 3 Fighter Hien glider that I have from this series of 12.

Power Prop Gliders - #5 Sparrow 13

Another bi-plane which lost a wing when converted into a styrofoam glider.  I cannot locate a Sparrow 13 anywhere and I am not sure if this would be the Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk.
