Here are some examples of what these look like:

http://www.doxaerie.com/historical_models.htm (Mitsubishi G3M model about 3/4 of the way down the page)

It would be nice if the patterns for these could be scanned so that people could build them without sacrificing the collectible value of the originals. But if they are black-on-black and still not punched out of their original cards, I'm not sure how one would do that.
