I often write about building model airplanes on your own. It's really a lot more exciting than just buying a ready model and putting it somewhere.
The problem with building model aircraft is the complexity. The static scale models don't need to fly, but they must be exact scaled versions of real airplanes. This is a tremendous effort in measuring and requires high precissness.
The flying model airplanes on the other side require a lot of though in aerodynamic. If you want to build a flying model yourself, you may find out that it's much harder than you may have thought.
The solution to these problems are model aircraft kits. They are simplifying the building process while leaving you the joy and excitement of building an aircraft yourself.
You can find all kind of model aircraft kits on the market. Pre-cut, die-cut, plastic kits, RC aircraft kits, wood kits, even some metal ones. Some of the kits are almost ready to fly and require only painting. Other come entirely in parts and you need to build everything. Some are cheap, other - very expensive.
There are model kits for everyone and if you want to build an airplane but never done it before, I strongly recommend you to try with a model airplane kit. This way you will make less mistakes, will waste less materials and time and will build a good tested model airplane.
Once gained experience with kits, you can always go ahead and try building your next static or flying model entirely on your own. Don't forget that there are also plans available so you don't need to be an engineer. Of course designing your own plan is also very exciting, but that's entirely another matter.

Static Model Airplanes
The static model airplanes are luxury accessoires for people who like well touched things. As the name suggests, the static model aircraft does not fly. It just stays out there and makes your room, working cabinet or office looking great.
Most static model airplanes are made of balsa wood, but recently some appear made from plastic or even various metals. All static models should be painted well and should be exact copies of real world airplanes. That's why they are also called static scale models.
Many people start collecting models and then become passionate about building static scale models themselves. You should be very passionate, skilful and wiling to learn to make such models good. Keeping the right scale and building even the smallest details of the aircraft takes a lot of effort.
Most probably your first tries to make static scale models yourself will be disastrous. To avoid thta it's highly recommended that you start with model aircraft kit. Using a kit will save you from the hardest measuring work and working on the small details.
Static scale model airplanes and helicopters are very appropriate for gifting. Don't hesitate to buy such a gift even for people who are not very interesting in aviation - you may get surprised to see them buying their own models very soon after that!
