Start Your Order

After we receive your order, we'll get back to you within 24 hours to discuss your project and custom design.

Custom Order Form

After our initial discussions, we will create your custom order form. This order form will capture all of the details you have specified and will include embedded photos and mockups for our artists to use during production. We will email the custom order form to you for your review and approval. Email us back with your approval or any changes and we welcome any additional photos to aid our replication. Once you approve the order form, we will begin production.

Production Begins 10 Weeks

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.

Post-Production Arrival

Once complete, we'll email photos for your 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.

Shipped! 10-14 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. 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 via USPS Priority. Rush production orders ship to you directly from our factory.

Materials Used

We use only the finest kiln-dried solid mahogany (red lauan) wood, hand-carved by the world's greatest craftsmen with unprecedented precision and accuracy. Our artisans carve, mold, assemble, paint, and detail your briefing stick entirely by hand.

What Types of Airplanes Can You Make?

We can replicate any type of aircraft and any variant from any country. All of our mahogany wood custom aircraft products are made to order just for you. They are completely customized and personalized to your specifications.

Need It Quick?

We have a 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.

Where Are They Made?

Our production facility is located in the Philippines. Every custom product begins as a block of solid wood and is hand-carved from scratch, so we can make any size or scale.

Can I Personalize My Order?

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.

Will I Get To Approve My Model?

Once your aircraft replica is complete, we will email multiple post-production digital photos for your final approval prior to shipping. This allows you to see the finished product to ensure that we got everything just right. These photos will clearly show the paint markings, ordnance, names, tail number and customized stand. Corrections are still possible at this time. Any change requests different from the approved order form, may incur an additional charge. Once the final photos are approved, we apply a final coat of lacquer to protect the model. Once the lacquer is applied, changes will not be possible.

Do They Come With a Warranty?

We use only the finest materials and paints giving us the ability to offer an exceptional warranty that our custom mahogany wood products will never crack, warp, yellow or fade. If you ever encounter these defects, we will replace your product or refund your payment guaranteed. We will also repair or replace any damage that occurs during shipment.

What is Your Refund and Return Policy?

All of our custom mahogany wood aircraft replicas come with our 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee.
