Fighter Aircraft Models

 

Gift your one-of-kind Aviator a one-of-kind hand carved fighter aircraft model version of any aircraft he or she flew. The lightweight but sturdy hand-carved, hand-painted model will be the pièce de résistance, a source of pride – a perfect conversation starter – in the space it is displayed. Expertly crafted, the models are of heirloom quality and can be reproduced from a picture you provide. Models are a perfect holiday, retirement or birthday gift, or a nice return from deployment surprise. We have many pieces available and can also do a custom piece. Typically, these pieces are 18 inches at their long point. Commonly, aviators love to collect significant firsts like their first solo, first carrier landing, first flight, etc. In the fleet/squadron units, it might be that harrowing night, first combat flights or something memorable. Our artisans are very skilled at recreating these pieces. In addition, you might consider adding a call sign or inscription on a brass plate with something personal on it. These are important memories that should be preserved for your family and if taken care of will be heirloom pieces. Every aviator deserves a model of their plane.

Fighter aircraft will have an F in its designation. Unique characteristics of a fighter are its speed, maneuverability, and small size relative to other combat aircraft. Per doctrine, A fighter’s main purpose is to establish air superiority over a battlefield.
