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.
