Hi Mark
Pretty much what Dirk said...
For just starting out, some good sites are:
Fiddlers Green
http://www.fiddlersgreen.net; which (I think) still lets you download three models when you sign up with them - they are good starters and you can see how Jeff is going with their Colditz Glider in the GB.
http://www.landships.info; Go in under the models tab. These are also good first paper models - you can see Splash's build of one of them in the GB - although a bit more complex and they need a bit more thinking (but nothing beyond the average UAMFer).
http://www.paper-replika.com; and
http://www.myhobbycraft.blogspot.com; both have a large ranges of models across a range of topics - some like the large Gundam and Transformers robots are pretty complex so you might want to start with one of the more simpler ones just to get the hang of the differnet paper modelling techniques first.
If you join up at
http://www.papermodelers.com;, and contribute to the forums, you will be able to access the download library there - check out the models by a guy named Gary Pilsworth: they cover a range of subjects and are very buildable...
To the best of my knowledge, all the links posted in this thread and within the GB are legitimate and generally OK to download from...please be aware that there are a number of other legitimate appearing sites that are actually hosts for pirated models i.e. those that are actually commercially available that these sites are distributing for free which is illegal and we would discourage builds of any such kits in the GB.
There are also a number of European online retailers that stock a very large range of preprinted paper models which could be in your mail box in only a few days...these include
http://www.gpm.pl;,
http://www.wak.pl; and
http://www.kartonmodellshop.de/;.
To a large extent paper modelling is like plastic modelling in that one should be a bit wary of being lured in by flash cover art only to discover the original Airfix Tiger Moth in the box...if you have an inquiries about a given preprinted model or publisher, ask about it in this thread and I will see what feedback i can give you. Generally anything published in the last 6-7 years will be pretty good...
