How we craft our model planes
Most of the time, things in
life are not easy especially if it’s the finer things.
Warplanes very well know this so we really give our best
efforts in order to come up with truly fine
model airplanes.
The art of
model crafting is a very thorough and arduous
process to which we duly abide to. Being aircraft
aficionados ourselves, we make sure that every
model plane has the exact same look of the very
plane itself since we offer scaled-down models after
all.
So how do we begin? Everything starts with research.
Clear images and photos of aircraft in almost every
angle are studied. The tiniest details are important
since these model planes are expected to be scaled-down
versions.
Next is mahogany wood. The measurement of an actual
airplane is
scaled down to model size through rigorous carving
of mahogany wood. Carving can take up to three days if
only one specific type of plane model is going to be
produced. The span of this secondary process varies if
different types of plane models are going to be
produced. Sanding is also crucial to give it a clean
look and smooth finish.
After that is the application of putty. This is a
part of the process so that the
carved models will have a smoother surface. Also, it
gives painters the perfect canvas they need in order to
give these models a more distinct and detailed look.
Once the putty has set, skilled hands paint the
models. A trained eye and careful hands are needed to
achieve the precision models require. Painted models are
then allowed to dry. As soon as it is perfectly dry,
model airplanes are polished and carefully placed inside
boxes.
Parts like
propellers and
model airplane stands are separately placed inside
to avoid damaging the finished products. Model airplane
stands are wooden bases with steel rods for plane models
to be propped upon if needed. These stands have various
sizes depending on the size of the aircraft model.
Furthermore, customers can select whether these bases
will have carved logos or aluminum plate logos.
Finally, models are shipped directly to customers.
The overall process may take 8 to 12 weeks depending on
the number and type of orders.
