Working from your photographs and our library of aircraft blueprints, our master craftsmen will meticulously recreate your airplane into an amazing detailed and customized desktop replica. Each model is hand carved from solid mahogany or alternatively from solid cast resin and completely hand painted to match your aircraft paint scheme and registration number.
Depending on the size and complexity of the model and our factory loading at the time the normal production time will be in the region of 9-10 weeks.
No detail will be spared! We attach as many of the original details of the real airplane as possible including antennas, wire lines, riggings, steps, pitot tubes, wipers, armament and weapons and loads (if applicable).
