Handcrafted Hand- Finished Models

The majority of models shown on our website have been hand carved in Lauan or Meranti (known commonly as Philippine Mahogany) solid kiln dried wood or in solid cast resin and hand painted by our own highly talented master craftsmen. The model you receive will be identical in looks and quality to those you see on our website.

Authentic Fine Detail

Unfortunately, even a photo cannot fully bring out or show what you will see or feel in real life once you receive your model. There is no substitute for a custom bespoke hand made and hand finished model that captures the exactness, looks and flare of the original aircraft.

Built to last

These models will last for generations to come and will become family heirlooms that will be cherished by generations to come You never really own one of our models  – you merely “pass it on to the next generation”. Please visit our testimonials page to see the kind words that have been said about our works of art.
