Custom Model of the plane you
or your Loved One flew

Any Type of Aircraft

What kind of plane can we make? Really...any plane? Yes, and we will make yours, too.

From military and commercial airplanes, to civilian or even historical planes, helicopters, and more, no matter how unique or rare.

Any Type of plane, really!

Any Ordnance, Weapons, and Sensors

Our expert craftsmen will run through every external configuration, weapon, sensor, or targeting pod with a fine tooth comb until the model is a perfect replication of your plane.

Our regular size models are 16" - 18" in length or wingspan, depending on the type of airplane. Our miniature models are always 8" in length, but without any external ordnance.

Any Painted Marking, Numbers, and Identification

Yes, we mean customized. Any livery or markings unique to your exact airplane, including country and unit insignia and even nose art.

We know and follow the heraldry guidelines to make the decals, markings, and lettering 100% accurate. All our models are hand-painted, so we can recreate the most complex and craziest painting schemes for you.

Personalized Stand with Logo

Our personalized stand will allow your aircraft to soar above your desk. It serves as a reminder of great times away from the ground with some of your best friends. Not to mention, it's a pretty awesome addition to your office.

Choose a custom stand shape or upgrade to a wall mount to make your plane fly in style!

Amazing company

Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Aviator Gear for bringing my grandfather's KC-135 back to life. This is such an amazing company from the customer service all the way to their extraordinary care and meticulous attention to detail! Our family is thrilled! Thank you again for your hard work for our military veteran heroes!

CH-3E like real

I wanted a model customized to match the helicopters from my unit. They took all my old how-it-works-figures and matched up the markings, door art, and other items perfectly. When I received the model it was packaged perfectly and nothing damaged. It was an exciting experience to open the box and see what an awesome job they did.

~ Tom C.

Awesome B-45

The B-45 model you made for me was perfect in every way, including markings and the fuel vent probe next to the tail skid, which I had forgotten about. You may remember that I made the last flight of the B-45 when I delivered 48-017 to the SAC Museum at Offitt AFB, in Omaha, Neb., on June 14, 1972.

~ George G.

Excellent job

I received my Corsair on Friday and it exceeded my expectations. It was well packed and arrived undamaged, was easy to unpack and assemble. The detail was excellent as was the fit and finish. Now I just need to find a place to display it!

~ John B.

100% Accurate

Many thanks for the pro-active and professional customer service. They were spot-on with ensuring my 3 models were 100% accurate. All 3 arrived in perfect condition and they look fantastic! Will surely recommend Aviator Gear to my friends and co-workers.

How your aircraft model is created
from start to finish

  1. 1. Takeoff

    Choose which you prefer: a model or a gift certificate. Within 24 hours, our designer will contact you. They will lead you through the customization process from the start to finish, asking all the right questions to ensure we collect every important detail.

  2. 2. Confirm route
    1-2 business days

    We'll get back to you with an order form that will capture all of the details you have specified, including photos and mockups for our artists to use during production. Email us back with your approval or any changes or additional photos to aid our replication.

  3. 3. Production
    10 weeks
    6 weeks (rush production)

    Your custom model is hand-carved and molded from solid mahogany wood. We then move to the putty primer stage to get the shape exactly right. The paint process uses hand-painting, airbrushing, stencils, and in-house created decals to replicate the smallest details.

  4. 4. Quality check
    3+ days

    Once the model is complete, we'll email the photos to you for final approval. This will allow you to review the finished product, making sure we got everything just right. Once approved, we apply a final coat of lacquer to protect the awesomeness.

  5. 5. Shipped
    14 days
    3-5 days rushed

    After about 3 days the clear lacquer is dry. We then pack your model in a specially designed container for your aircraft type, to protect it from any unfortunate bumps and knocks. Normal production orders ship from our factory to our distribution facility in Florida once a week. Rush production orders ship to you directly from our factory.
