Unlike our competitors ModelBuffs.com® run their business direct from the factory source and not through third party companies or regional trading offices? The quality of your model replica is assured from day one of manufacture. Our reputable model airplanes are ideally suited as collectibles, executive gifts, premium and promotional incentives, art gallery sculptures, and many other purposes. Each model is hand carved and completely handpainted to match the aircrafts livery, paint scheme and registration number. Any logo can be carved or painted on the stand and a brass plaque with your personal inscription adds that extra finishing touch to your model.

All the models you see on the ModelBuffs website are handcrafted and hand painted by our gifted artists and master craftsmen, and is packed with authentic detail based on the actual aircraft blueprints. The photographs you see have not been manipulated or edited - they are exactly as the model looks in real life but unfortunately even digital photography cannot do full justice to the look and feel of the model!

Most models are made to order and take about 8-10 weeks to manufacture (even customised or personalised models) which is significantly quicker than the vast majority of our competitors. You will also notice that we offer models at prices way below other companies advertising on the web. We are able do this because of the direct manufacturing and selling basis of our business - models direct from the factory located near Clark Air Base in the Philippines, shipped through DHL service and delivered to your home across the Pacific or the Atlantic 3-4 days from dispatch. The price of each model is inclusive of the stand of your choice and full export packing. All prices are in US Dollars.

If you do not find your required model in our database or if you have any requirements that are not covered in the "Made to Order" section of our site then please email us directly at ModelBuffs. We can make a model of any airplane or helicopter that you require – in any scale and in any size or configuration and with any markings or livery.
