Thank you again for your hard work for our military veteran heroes! ~ Bradley M. ## 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!

Design Takeoff Once you place your custom aircraft model order, within 24 hours, a dedicated designer will contact you to guide you through the customization process. During this stage, we collect all critical details needed to replicate your aircraft accurately, including: - Aircraft type and configuration - Livery, paint scheme, and markings - Tail numbers, logos, and insignia - Special modifications or historical details This initial consultation ensures no detail is missed and sets the foundation for a truly personalized aviation model. 2. #### 2. Confirm the Route #### Artwork review and approval Within 1 to 2 business days, you will receive a detailed order form and visual mockups created specifically for your aircraft. These mockups are used by our artisans during production and are a critical step in maintaining accuracy. You will have the opportunity to: - Review all specifications and artwork - Request changes or refinements - Upload additional reference photos or documentation Production does not begin until you approve every detail, ensuring your custom airplane replica matches your expectations before carving starts. 3. #### 3. Handcrafted Production #### Precision carving, painting, and detailing Once approved, your custom aircraft model enters production. Each model is hand-carved and molded from solid mahogany wood, providing durability, balance, and a premium finish. Our production process includes: - Precision carving and shaping - Putty priming to refine contours and proportions - Hand painting and airbrushing for accurate color matching - Stencils and in-house decals to replicate markings and insignia This stage typically takes up to 10 weeks, with rush production options available for select models. Every step is completed by skilled artisans with aviation-specific experience. 4. #### 4. Quality Check and Final Approval #### Accuracy verification and finishing Once production is complete, your model goes through a thorough quality inspection. We then email high-resolution photos of the finished aircraft model for your final approval. This review allows you to confirm: - Color accuracy - Placement of markings and details - Overall proportions and finish After approval, a final protective lacquer coat is applied to preserve the model’s appearance and protect it for long-term display. 5. #### 5. Secure Shipping #### Careful packaging and delivery After the lacquer has fully cured, your custom airplane model is carefully packaged in a container designed specifically for your aircraft type. This protects the model from movement, impact, and environmental exposure during transit. Shipping timelines include: - Standard shipping: approximately 14 days - Expedited shipping: 3 to 5 days, depending on location Standard orders ship weekly to our U.S. distribution center, while rush orders ship directly from the factory to reduce transit time. *** ## From a block of solid wood to the perfect replica of your plane ## How your aircraft model is created from start to finish How It's Made – Aviator Gear Custom Airplane Models ### Did you know... ?
