Aviadyp

Punch
Aviadyp was a French system to make model aircraft. It was made in France from around 1940 to the 1950s.
Tecnicavia sets appear to use the same parts as early Aviadyp sets and may have preceded it.
One of the sets was also sold under the Punch name in (probably) the early 1950s. (Probably for a department store or mail order house).

Parts probably the same as Phase 1 AVIADYP but may have preceded it.
