Amazon Dreams Smashed

No package delivery by #modelaircraft touts the government. I don't know if any of you had seen the commercials around super bowl time were Amazon told the world that someday they would deliver packages with a remote operated drone. I saw the commercial and it was pretty inspiring. I thought it was a little far fetched but the government has stepped up and stated that it is not going to happen!

I personally don't like anything flying over my head that may come crashing down on it! Too bad though cool idea. Stay tuned as the stories emerge and I will try and keep you updated as to what I learn!

Great post. At least the park service is getting a clue about how to handle the difference between a drone and a model aircraft!

I for one enjoy RC modelling, and aircraft models themselves. Building them has always been a fun and clean hobby. Great for kids! I don't think we should give away too many more of our freedoms.

Airplane Models Lit up by LED!

We are just about to deliver some really awesome wood model aircraft that we custom built for an airplane hanger. The models of B-17G Liberty Bell, F4U-4 Corsair Jolly Rodgers, SNJ -3/5 Texan, J-3 Piper Cub, Vans RV10 and a Boeing Stearman model 175 PT 17 Kaydet.

We created a custom paint scheme for each model airplane and detailed the cockpits the way they should be historically accurate. Each model has the landing lights installed, cockpit lights and a special row of LED lighting under neath each plane to light up the area at their new home, a hangar!

Although this project took several months it has turned out to be one of my most favorite custom builds. We are so looking forward to their departure and arrival! I am posting a few pictures and you will be able to see the finished product on Military Models Online and Airplane Models Online..

We only use the highest quality woods and materials in the construction of our model airplanes. These models are built in the USA. Take a look below and see what you think.






I will post the final residence of these fine model planes after they are installed and the lights are on for all of you to see.

These models are affordable and very unique. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Ship Model Superstore

Special orders don't upset us! We get a lot of calls for model ships that we have on our site that may be out of stock. We don't mind special ordering one for you, if you really want the model and are willing to wait a little while we can get it built for you. The whole process can take 120-180 days but because of the quality of our ship models, they are definitely worth waiting for!

We just extended our summer wholesale pricing on the web site so all our prices are way below MSRP. Go to the site and check it out, we can't leave them this low for long so the sale will end right after fathers day. Ship Model Superstore web page

Our model ships are crafted entirely by hand, they truly do have some very unique details for something so small. There are no plastic parts, all the fittings are cast in Bronze, Chrome, Stainless Steel and real Gold plate. Some of the worlds most exotic woods are used; rosewood, cherry, teak and birch. The ship models are sanded and re sanded many times for the best uptake of the finish. The finest stains and varnishes are used for a shine that is furniture quality!

If you look at the rigging on our tall ship models, you can see how complicated the rigging is and actual seaman's knots are used, not glue like some of our competitors use. The sails are made of high quality linen and masterfully stitched for realism.

All of our models come with a commanding base and a brass nameplate with the ships name on it. Our models are crated and double boxed to protect them on their journey to you. All of our models are shipped insured so that know one has to worry about the model while it is in transit to its new home!

Check us out when you have time and if you want to discuss our fine collection you can call us toll free at 1-855-280-9590. Bob & Dee Dee will be glad to answer your calls and questions!
