Airplane Models & Replicas

Each mahogany airplane model is hand-carved from a block of solid mahogany wood, then hand-painted in an accurate airline or military livery and mounted on a desktop display stand. The result is a durable, premium decor piece with realistic proportions, not a snap-together or plastic kit.
