The model is hand-carved; from the aircraft fuselage, to the sanding of the airplanes contours. Every part is assembled precisely into place. The KC-10A Extender wooden model airplane passes through various stages; from priming and sanding before it is hand-painted to duplicate the actual colors of the original historical airplane. Every detail of the actual airplane is also copied -- from insignias to squadron badges, nose-art, emblems and serial numbers. Multiple coats of clear lacquer are applied to protect the artwork and provide an overall glossy finish. Price 159.95 USD

More than just a replica, it is a true work of art. The C-130H Hercules (E-1) model airplane is perfect as an addition to a growing collection or as an exquisite gift to a loved one. Price 149.95 USD
This is the type of item that makes this hobby so much fun for me. I was at a Saarbrücken flea market rummaging through a box of junk a guy had and this was on the bottom. A nice early bronze Westwall in good condition. 10 Euros. It was without ribbon so I attached one that was cut off a wartime unissued roll. Not expensive or rare or even all that special. But a nice one I was able to salvage and now sits in its rightful place next to its wartime brothers.
