Model Aircraft Stamps from South Korea

sll. The Korea Post recently issued stamps featuring model aircraft designs in five denominations: 10, 20, 40, 50, and 80 won. The occasion was the annual “Model Airplane Championship Celebration.” This event takes place every year on the same date at a Korean Air Force base in Seoul. It includes the official national championships in all model aircraft categories, air shows, and exhibitions, and always receives significant media coverage.

Those interested can order the stamps by postcard from the editorial office of “Modellflugsport,” P.O. Box, 8335 Hittnau (very limited stock!). The price per set (5 different stamps) is CHF 6.00, including postage (no prepayment required!).
