The model of your dreams, the one you always wanted!

It truley is amazing on what you can find on the net now a days, but this one I can vouch for myself because I have seen the product and held it. I have compared it to the competition and there is no better than these guys.

For all you pilots, who have a favourite airplane the one you always wanted. Your first solo or the one you've retired on. For those who have parents who have flown airplanes and you've wanted to make a custom one, just for you. Well now you can. Either corporate or personal try:

They are desk top, hand carved models with excellent detail. You will be impressed.

O.K.

I had these guy's make me a model of the Scudhawk and I gotta tell you it is an outstanding replica. I was a little worried when I ordered it, not knowing if they could do a decent 172 or if it would be worth the money, sort of wrote it off during the waiting period, expect nothing and you won't be disappointed etal.
I'll tell you though, when I finally got my grubby paws on it I was astounded, the level of detail for a mahogany model is amazing, all the antennae are there including the towel rack, VHF and cat whiskers, the colours / graphics are bang on and the PFC logo with titles are perfect.
The finish is silky smooth with no flaws what so ever.
The only error on it was the hand hold (yes they even made little hand holds) on the starboard cowl was missing but that was because I only supplied port side pictures.
IMO these models are worth every penny, in fact I have since bought a Martin Mars, damn near wet myself when I saw it for the first time, plus two more models on order and possibly a third if the good Cap'n has made the DC10 order we discussed and I'm a real cheap SOB, whine like an airline captain whenever I get the bill.
If you want a cherished momento of an important event in your life, you can't go wrong with these, they are not your run of the mill Philippine cheapo mahogany models, they are several cuts above.
And no I am not affiliated in any way with this company, just a very satisfied customer.

They are all $250.00Cdn- $189.00US and so far worth every penny.

Trust me my friend they are excellent, they vary in scale depending on what is orders. They usually average around 1:48 to 1:200 for the commercial stuff. These are high quality display models, great for x-mas, birthdays and graduation gifts. If you have any other question then give them a shout via thier website and let them know that you saw this post on DAC. Thanks and enjoy.

I just received two more of these outstanding models the other day and I'll tell you the quality is simply breathtaking.
One I don't belive I can post for copyright reasons but I can tell you it is as near perfect a 752 as I have ever seen and the paint is flawless.
The other one as you can see is a jewel, absolutely the best scale model of a Beaver I have ever seen, this thing even has door handles. I know OCN does not sport this livery (well the last time I saw her she didn't) but I'm sure she'll get the treatment someday. This is like having "Harbour Express" on my shelf.
You guys did an awesome job on these, thanks.
Now for the next one..............

I gotta question, do they only do prop planes, or would they
consider making say a 747 or some other jetliner?

Ozz · 01-18-2004, 10:35 PM

These guys will do anything Spidey. I have a 172XP, Martin Mars, this DHC2 and a 752.
I have seen personally, a bunch of military aircraft both jets and props, airliners, a Skycrane and possibly the coolest Beech Staggerwing model ever produced.
My brother dreamt up an RCN Banshee and they made it, gear down even and did a super job of it.
Their only inconsistency is the scale, unlike Bader who is precise, these guys are all over the board. But with results like this, who cares.
