In Plastic Aircraft Kits of the 20th Century [1] John
Burns states in his entry for
FISCHER MODELLE
West Germany, not producing
Though these kits appeared more frequently
as built-ups using the
NOCH
logo, they were also marketed briefly as
kits in the mid 1960´s. There have been
reports of a single kit containing both the
Boelkow Phoebus and Boelkow Jr. gliders but
this has not been confirmed .
He lists the following kits, scale is 1/87 (HO)
throughout:
FM-1B Ka-10
FM-4B Ka-10 w/trailer
FM-6B Boelkow Phoebus
FM-8B Boelkow Jr.

FM-14B Schleicher ASK-13 w/trailer
FM-15B Hang Glider
FM-16B Dornier Do-28
Additionally I found in an auction:
FM 5 Flugzeughalle ( Hangar).
On the wesite of
87thScale.info
there is listed a car
FM 2 VW Karmann Ghia II
distributed by Modell International
.Ovbiously this is the tug of the set FM-4B Ka-10 w/
trailer, listed above.
To my present knowledge (11.Aug 2010 ) four
companies issued kits resp. models based on
FISCHER MODELLE moulds.

W R Matthews reviews a "Fischer" kit:
" GERMAN SAILPLANE
A new West German company, Fisher, has
issued a neat little model to 1/87th scale
of the Ka-10 sailplane. This is accurate and
extremely well made, and it can be assembled
literally in two minutes.It forms part of
a set which comprises a VW Karman Ghia coupé
, a trailer for the ailplane (the wings of
which are detachable to alow loading) and a
hangar. By the use of all these items an
attractive gliding scene may be assembled. A
similar set comprising a Boelkow Phoebus
sailplane, a Boelkow Junior tug, a winch,
windsock and six figures will be issued
shortly.
