Large travel agent-style aircraft models

Does anyone know where you would go to get hold of one of those large display model aircraft that you see in travel agent's windows?

I have a friend who's a real aircraft enthusiast and his b-day is coming up. Thought it might make an interesting present! :)

I have seem several on EBay.

What you could do is a search on EBay for aircraft models - several of the sellers are dealers who also have shops - that may be a starting point.

Stay tuned to this channel... I'm currently talking to a manufacturer about importing them to Europe, so might be able to reveal something soon :)

Thanks Pix,

:)

I wonder if you can specify livery.... ;) A giant A380 would be fab! Or a huge VS branded Concorde! ;)

In addition several web sites seem to do them for example http://www.atlantic-models.com/aboutus.htm, http://www.collectorsaircraft.co.uk/ and not forgetting http://scalemodel.net/ ;)

Kids today, no sense of adventure, building your own model from parts...(Puys on his cardie, slippers and glasses)
