Bombardier BD-700 Global Express painted in your own choice of livery or markings

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.
