GA desktop models

[ATC_av8er]

I am looking for a company, like SkyMarks, that sells the resin desktop model airplanes for the GA guys, i.e. one that sells Piper's and Cessna's. Can someone point me in the right direction where I might be able to find them?

If you want a plastic airplane you'll attract less criticism from the tough crowd around this joint if you just buy a Cirrus, and be done with it.

That was so evil. Wish I could like it more than once.

Been a long week at work. I needed the laugh going into my weekend ;-)

If it's worth paying 200$ for one, than here you go.

I prefer Lancairs. They're reusable.

If it has to be resin I'm not going to be much help but wood ones are fairly easy to find. Example: http://www.premiumwooddesigns.com/Mahogany_aircraft_models_s/35.htm

Used to be able to pick up nice ones from the Phillippines really cheap, some of them are probably still around.

Is it possible to 3D print these things?

Yes, but to get a decent shape and finish worthy of a display model it's probably faster to carve one from chunks of mahogany and go from there.

who can whittle without a cad model

I saw an arrow model on thingverse. I'm tempted to try it out, looks like he made it work by breaking it up into sections and snapping/gluing/etc it together after the fact.

I tried to get my wife to lie across her desk for a photo, but she said no. Y'all better be thankful I don't have a tripod or you'd have a photo of me lying across a desk now.

Another alternative is to go on Ebay, and you can find constructed plastic and RC models for sale, at not bad prices.
