Your tail plaque 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.
Once complete, we'll email photos for your final approval. These allow you to review the finished product, makeing sure we got everything just right. They will clearly show all details and paint markings. Once approved, we apply a final coat of lacquer to protect your tail flash plaque.
After about 3 days the clear lacquery is dry, we then pack your model in a specially designed container for your aircraft type. Normal production orders ship from our factory to our distribution facility in Florida once a week. Once received in Florida, we forward the model to you.

We have a 4 week and 6 week rush production service. After you approve the post-production digital photos of your completed model, expect about one additional week for us to finish the product in clear lacquer and deliver to you.

Absolutely! That is another aspect that makes us unique, because we do not charge extra for customized or personalized details. We will put pilot and crew chief names below the canopies, we will add nose art, and we will personalize your stand.
