Highly detailed, and built right to your specifications. Pricing includes shipping and shipping is done in tightly wrapped boxes with laser cut foam. The detail they put in is insane. I have four models from them...so far.
Hey 172_Captain - would you happen to have a photo of one?

Another vote here for Nicemodels. I’m a lifelong model builder including having built a couple solid wood display models myself so I’m pretty anal when it comes to the quality of these things. I don’t have a plane from Nicemodels but I’ve seen their work first hand and they’d be my first call if I were to commission one.

Next question.... gear up or gear/flaps down??

Our other models are all gear up, but we were gifted those and they weren’t custom orders. What would you pick..... I’d ask him, but it’s a surprise....

I have been dealing with Airgo Models for 2 years now .
I paid up front for 5 wellington Bombers to be built
the first year of waiting he would respond but slowly
now almost at the 2 year mark and now he never responds to emails or phone calls .
if I were you stay away from this guy it's a part time job for him .
he told me that in an email .
I would love to support local business but with that way Mike Ferguson has treated me I would never deal with him again
he promises the world then disappears

disappointed

I’ve had the same issue with Mike Ferguson and Airgo Models. I have had three custom models on order for the past 2 years with nothing but excuses. I’ve asked for my money back for the last year and a half and when he finally does answer my emails he says custom orders are final sale. Is there any way of trying to get my money back from this guy?

If you paid with a credit card, try a charge reversal through your credit card company. That usually gets the retailers attention pretty quickly.
