I have pictures of the plane. Can you make it match the paint scheme and markings I provide?

Yes, most certainly. We will construct you model(s) to match any high quality pictures you can provide us or direct us to.

* If the actual aircraft is of an experimental type or a design-concept existing only on paper, we may request detailed drawings showing the external dimensions and any special features you want included.

Do you use glued on decals like in the plastic model airplane kits?

Absolutely not! All markings are painted by hand. When ordering a quality model it’s best to avoid companies that use glued-on decals. Over time those glued-on decals will begin to disintegrate. That’s why we never use any!
We only use real paint that is applied by the hands of our artists

Warning

**Please remember your model is a work-of-art. Its beauty should be admired from a safe distance.
Never place it within reach of young children (or adults for that matter) who "like to touch things". So put it in a safe place.
