General Product Description
We keep in stock what we refer to as “blanks” which are models finished to the stage of primer painting so that they are ready have the final chosen livery or markings applied. By doing this we can slightly speed up the overall production time of the model. All you need to do is to purchase the “blank” version and then to email us images of what airline livery, markings or colors we should apply. You will note that we charge slightly more for these “ready to paint” models due to the fact that our setup costs for model liveries we have not made before are higher than for those we have done before.
Once you have chosen your own version PlaneArts will copy your choice or design exactly as it is on the real aircraft. It will come as standard with a robust, durable base or stand which is available in a variety of different finishes designed to match your own personal requirements including solid wood, wood with polished metal supports or adjustable wood wall mount and will be ready within about 8-10 weeks from placement of order.
The model will be made of the finest kiln dried renewable mahogany wood (commonly known as Lauan or Meranti) which has undergone many stages of carving and meticulous and careful sanding giving the beautiful, finished museum quality masterpiece. Many collectors and model connoisseurs demonstrate their preference for genuine handmade and hand painted mahogany wood models rather than plastic or die cast (diecast) alternatives due to the overall look and totally different feel of the item - we trust you will find the same. We can however, if required produce the same model in Solid Cast Resin so just click and contact us for further information. Our craftsmen and gifted artisans ensure that our finely handcrafted model airplanes match the precise blueprint details of the original aircraft.
We can also make bespoke scale replicas of any other private / civil commercial airliner or airliners, helicopter, glider, gliders with engines, military jet, warplane jets, propeller warplanes, biplane, triplane, tail fin, spacecraft, rocket or NASA model you require in any airline, military or civilian livery or colors. We also produce model airships, blimp, dirigible, blimps, boat and ship collectibles. Wall plaque or seal for military, government or private customers. Again, by clicking here to contact us just let us know exactly what you need.

Boeing 767-300: A Detailed Look at Its Enduring Legacy
The Boeing 767-300 is a wide-body jetliner developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, an extension of the original 767 model that made its first flight in 1982. This variant was designed to meet the demand for a longer fuselage to carry more passengers over medium to long-haul routes. Since its introduction, the 767-300 has become a workhorse for numerous airlines around the globe, favored for its reliability, efficiency, and versatility. Here, we delve into the key features and contributions of this iconic aircraft, underlining its enduring legacy in commercial aviation.
Design and Development:
The Boeing 767-300 was introduced as a response to airline requests for a stretched version of the 767-200, aiming to increase seating capacity and cargo volume. The aircraft’s design incorporates a 21.1-foot extension over its predecessor, enhancing its passenger capacity. The 767-300 can typically seat between 218 to 269 passengers in a two-class configuration, making it significantly more versatile for airlines operating on various routes.
Performance Specifications:
Powered by two high-bypass turbofan engines, the 767-300 boasts an impressive range of approximately 3,850 to 5,990 nautical miles (7,130 to 11,090 kilometers), depending on the variant and specific configuration. This made the aircraft particularly appealing for transatlantic routes, as well as transcontinental routes within the United States and other regions. Its cruising speed of Mach 0.80 (approximately 530 mph or 851 km/h at cruising altitude) strikes an optimal balance between speed and fuel efficiency.
Avionics and Efficiency:
The Boeing 767-300 series features advanced avionics and flight systems that have been continually updated throughout its production life. Equipped with the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), the cockpit design marked a significant shift from the analog dials and gauges to a more modern, glass cockpit layout. This not only reduced the workload on pilots but also increased the aircraft’s overall operational efficiency. Moreover, the 767-300’s design prioritizes fuel efficiency, a crucial factor for airlines in managing operational costs and reducing environmental impact.
Variants and Upgrades:
The versatility of the Boeing 767-300 is further demonstrated by its variants, including the 767-300F (Freighter) and the Extended Range (ER) version. The 767-300F, introduced to meet the needs of the cargo sector, offers an impressive payload capacity, making it a favorite among cargo operators worldwide. On the other hand, the 767-300ER extends the aircraft’s range to approximately 5,990 nautical miles, enabling airlines to serve longer international routes more economically.
Legacy and Impact:
The Boeing 767-300 has had a profound impact on the aviation industry. Its introduction and the subsequent success paved the way for more efficient, longer-range twinjet aircraft, influencing the design and development of future models like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Furthermore, the 767-300’s design flexibility has allowed it to adapt to various roles beyond commercial passenger service, including freight, military, and government missions.
Despite the arrival of newer, more technologically advanced aircraft, the Boeing 767-300 continues to be an essential part of many airlines’ fleets. Its reliability, efficiency, and versatility have ensured its continued operation and relevance in an ever-evolving aviation landscape. As we look back on the contributions of the Boeing 767-300, its legacy as a pivotal player in the expansion and accessibility of global air travel is undeniably secured.
