The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed in the 1930s. The B-17 was primarily employed by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in the daylight precision strategic bombing campaign of World War II against German industrial and military targets. From its pre-war inception, it was touted as a strategic weapon; it was a potent, high-flying, long-range bomber that was able to defend itself, and to return home despite extensive battle damage. The B-17 quickly established itself as an effective weapons system, dropping more bombs than any other U.S. aircraft in World War II.
This specific B-17 model is painted as "Liberty Belle", which was the name of several individual combat B-17s used during WWII.
This handcrafted model is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen with a wealth of detail and makes a great gift for any veteran, aviation enthusiast or history buff.

The B-25 Mitchell was an American twin-engined medium bomber manufactured by North American Aviation. The B-25 first gained fame as the bomber used in the 18 April 1942 Doolittle Raid, in which 16 B-25Bs led by Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle attacked mainland Japan, four months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The mission gave a much-needed lift in spirits to the Americans, and alarmed the Japanese who had believed their home islands were inviolable by enemy forces. It was used by many Allied air forces, in every theater of World War II, as well as many other air forces after the war ended, and saw service across four decades.
This specific B-25 model is painted as "Panchito", Don Seiler’s B-25J from the 396th Bomb Squadron, 41st Bombardment Group, 7th Air Force. Panchito flew 19 missions over Japan from December 1943 to October 1944. "Panchito" was named after the feisty rooster in the Disney film “The Three Cabarellos” and is still in flying condition. She is currently owned by Rag Wings and Radials and tours the country doing airshows that support disabled american veterans.

This handcrafted LCVP 1/24 scale model is painstakingly built by our skilled craftsmen with a wealth of detail. The LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel) is a landing craft mostly used during the World War II. LCVP was basically constructed from plywood. This shallow-draft, barge-like boat could ferry a platoon-sized complement of 36 fully armed men (max load is 8,100 lbs) at 9 knots (17 km/h), or a 6,000 pound Jeep, and other equipment and supplies essential to amphibious operations. Men generally entered the boat by climbing down a cargo net hung from the side of their troop transport; they exited by charging down the boat's bow ramp.
It was these boats that made the D-Day landings at Normandy, Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, and hundreds of lesser-known places possible. Without its uniquely designed craft there could not have been a mass landing of troops and material on European shores or on the beaches of the Pacific islands, at least not without a tremendously higher rate of Allied casualties.
Our wooden LCVP model is an exact replica of the original, handcrafted with vigilance by master craftsmen. After it is sanded and puttied, skilled artists paint on the intricate details. Clear lacquer provides the finishing touch and long-lasting protection. Each ship model comes on a a display base with brass pedestals and a brass name plate.

"The Hawker 800 is a mid-size twin-engine corporate aircraft. It was originally designed and manufactured by British Aerospace as the BAe 125, it is currently manufactured by Hawker Beechcraft. The Hawker was originally designed as the DH-125 by de Havilland in 1961. It was acquired by Hawker Siddeley in 1963 and became the HS 125 and later acquired by British Aerospace in 1977 where it was the BAe 125. Then in 1993, Raytheon acquired British Aerospace Corporate Jets Ltd. (which became Raytheon Corporate Jets), and they began marketing this aircraft as the Hawker 800. The current Hawker version is identified as the Hawker 850XP and was certfied for operation in March 2006. This version also incorporates upgraded avionics and a redesigned interior. The Hawker 850XP is somewhat identical to the Hawker 800XP except that it includes winglets which have extended its operating range by 100 nautical miles. The Hawker 800XP has long range capabilities and one of the largest cabins in the midsize jet category. Its combination of speed, comfort and cabin size make it one of the most popular business jets around. Typically seating 8-10 passengers, the Hawker 800XP boasts almost 40% more space than its closest competitors. Baggage area is located in the cabin with 48 cubic feet of interior luggage space. Some examples of nonstop flights include California to Detroit, New York to Aspen, and Dallas to New York."

"The Hawker 4000 super mid-size business jet, developed by Raytheon Aircraft Company, is the largest in the Hawker family. Originally known as Hawker Horizon prior to November 2005, it features an all-composite fuselage and swept aluminum wing design. It made its first flight on August 11, 2001, and official debut in November 2005 when a development aircraft was displayed at the National Business Aviation Association convention. The 4000 can seat eight to twelve passengers. The eight-seat cabin holds four pairs of club chairs with writing tables. The aircraft's carbon composite construction gives it more interior space than many jets in its class. This composite construction also makes the aircraft much lighter than a standard aluminum structure, allowing a maximum range of 3,445 nautical miles and a service ceiling of 45,000 feet. The aircraft's avionics system provides full authority automatic throttle, moving map displays and vertical navigation. The cabin air conditioning and pressurization system is digitally controlled, which can significantly improve passenger comfort when gas becomes trapped in the gastrointestinal tract, middle ear and paranasal sinuses. The US Federal Aviation Administration granted the Hawker 4000 type certification in December 2004. Shortly after, the first aircraft was delivered to Jack DeBoer, a businessman from Kansas. Final type certification was given on November 21, 2006 and production deliveries are scheduled to begin in September 2007. As of March 2007, a total of more than 130 aircraft have been ordered. Customers include the Jordan Grand Prix Racing Team, Flight Options LLC and NetJets. NetJets placed a contract for 50 aircraft in December 2005, the largest single commercial order in the history of Raytheon Aircraft. Deliveries will begin by the end of 2007 through 2013. In May 2007, NetJets Europe ordered 32 aircraft which are slated for delivery between 2008 and 2016. "

"The HK-1 (H-4) Spruce Goose or Hercules, manufactured by Hughes Aircrafts, is a cargo-type flying boat aircraft. It had its first and only flight for just over a mile, on November 2, 1947. This trial was simple vindication from the detractors of the program and it is now looked back upon as a great moment in flight history. The Hercules is the largest flying boat ever built, and has the largest wingspan and height of any aircraft in history. The engineers of the said airplane incorporated eight of the most powerful engines ever, 3,000-horsepower Pratt and Whitney radial reciprocating engines with 17-foot diameter props. To feed the engines, they created a mammoth fuel storage and delivery system. The entire airframe and surface structures are composed of laminated wood (primarily birch, not spruce). Birch was chosen because testing proved it light, strong, and resistant to splitting, dry rot and deterioration. All primary control surfaces, except the flaps, are fabric covered. The aircraft's hull is divided into two areas: a flight deck for the operating crew and a large cargo hold. The H-4 was put into storage and carefully preserved, until after Howard Robard Hughes death in April of 1976. On February 27, 1993 the Hughes Flying Boat, commonly known as the Spruce Goose, arrived in McMinnville marking the end of the 1,055 mile, 138 day odyssey from Long Beach. It survives, in good condition, and became an exciting tourist attraction, at the Evergreen Aviation Museum. The popular Spruce Goose is now appropriately regarded as a true American icon."

"On April 7, 1967, Trans World Airlines (TWA) became one of the world's first all-jet airlines with the retirement of their last Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation and L-1649 Starliner aircraft. Many people consider the L-1049 Super Constellation to be the loveliest commercial aircraft ever built, which is why they often affectionately call it the ""Super Connie""./P> The L-1049G Super Constellation took off from Hamburg, Germany, to New York, USA, with a stop in Dusseldorf. The flight lasted 17 hours. In those days, flights across the Atlantic heading for America could be accomplished only with an intermediate stop. Flights to Germany were usually non-stop, due to the tail-wind. This marked the beginning of a new era. It wasn't until the Super Constellation that the plane became a means of mass transportation that allowed people to travel quickly and comfortably to cities around the world. The L-1049-G Super Constellation has 5 flight crews. The L-1049-G's capacity is typically 62-95 passengers, up to 109 could be seated. The L-1049-G Super Constellation has a maximum speed of 380 mph and range of 5,400 mi. The L-1049G is distinguished by round windows and the ability to carry wingtip fuel tanks. The L-1049G Super Constellation had another distinguishing feature: It was the first commercial aircraft to have a pressurised cabin."
