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!
