I see there is a model of a Haflinger on Ebay.co.uk its a 1/37 made by Gerald W Gilbert and sold originally by Peter Ward. Wow starting bid 520 UK pounds.
It would be good to see if it does sell for that amount as I have number 15/75 and also 15/75 of the army model that they produced. I think if my memory serves me right
I paid 75 pounds for each model, not that I would sell them.

Here is the link https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Steyr-Puch-H ... SwvNhdNfbW

I am into models but irrespective of its limited run certainly not worth the asking price - its not that great of a model anyway.

I have two as well - 36/75 green Swiss army - bought in 1996 for £78.30, and 36/75 beige civilian - bought in 1990 for £60.00. I am very fond of them.

Looks like Mr Ward must have reserved matching numbers for previous buyers! What a gentleman he was...

I am a keen paper modeller and have seen a couple of models of Haflingers. All fairly simple but at the same time don't think all paper models are so simple. For an amazing example take a look at this website and the model of the MAZ 537 G or the Fiat 6605

Anyway photos of a couple of simple Haflinger models attached. The second one used to be available for a couple of dollars but I haven't been able to find the eshop. With paper models if they are not downloads the cost of postage is usually greater than the model.

If you google http://www.bestpapermodels.com it only shows a 1/100 model but that is an even simpler and extremely basic model. Photo of it attached too.

Maybe someone can have a go at designing one.
