Joe Zuffoletto Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I want to get one of those custom, handmade models made of my Acclaim Type S. I love the model I had made years ago for my Encore, but that outfit is no longer in business. Has anyone out there had a model made of their Mooney that they just love, and can you point me to the outfit that made it? Thanks. Quote
Parker_Woodruff Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 This guy has done 2 excellent ones for me (a C172 and M20J). The manager/owner's name is Ricky. I anticipate him doing another one for me on my M20K in the next few months. Takes about 4 weeks or so. http://www.customairmodels.com/ I'll take pics when I get home tonight. I think with shipping the total came to about $125. Quote

Joe Zuffoletto Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks to all who responded. Factory Direct Models it is! This model of an Acclaim very similar to mine is what sold me. Can't wait to get it! http://www.factorydirectmodels.com/FD11-1572.html Quote
Parker_Woodruff Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Here are my first two airplanes. At $199 that is a really good deal from Factory Direct. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Quote
flyboy0681 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I never came across Factory Direct before. The M20J sample is in my colors, just wonder if they can get rid of the three blades in favor of two if I order one. Quote
orangemtl Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Not quite the same, but: I sent the best photo of my plane to CanvasOnDemand.com, and had a framed photo canvas made for my office. Nothing like a 24x36 image to produce a focal point. Fast work, and reasonably priced. Quote

Hank Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 So how big are these models? Parker's both look pretty large sitting on the bed. Quote
flyboy0681 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 The likeness is pretty amazing. My birthday will be coming up soon so maybe I'll treat myself to one. My credenza could use a little color. Quote
flight2000 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Mine has a wing span of 17.50" and is 11.60" in length so it's a fairly big model. I keep mine in our curio cabinet at home. Brian Quote
