Stage kit
The expression stage kit or model collection series , also called partwork based on the English , is understood to be a collection of works on a self-construction project that appears at regular intervals , typically a series of magazines, the individual issues of which, in addition to construction instructions and related articles, each include one or more model components for a self-construction project.
Variants of this concept are model collection series, the accompanying magazines of which each issue includes a collector's item that matches the topic of the collection area, a digital medium (CD, DVD) or handicraft material such as stamps or negative forms for creative work.
After a finite number of issues, which was already known at the beginning of the series, the model building object, the collection or the topic is completely finished. Multi-stage kits can contain 140 magazines or construction sections.
Current providers are “De Agostini Publishing”, a company of the Italian “ DeAgostini SpA”, and “Hachette Collections SNC”, a French subsidiary of the Hachette Livre publishing house . In the 1980s there was “Gerard - Labor für Feingusstechnik” from Vienna, which offered metal stage kits with parts made of cast brass and with brass etchings.
