Dear FDM, I am sorry that I am so late responding to the magnificent model of our Cherokee Six with interior and our new livery and registration number N330P! I need to share this model with my 4 other partners and watch them drool. Hopefully they will order one each! Over the years I actually purchased at least 4 models from you of our Cherokee Six N36462 and gave them each one as they purchased their share in our Partnership. That was over 15-20 years ago! I also purchased several models of CAF owned T-34B that I sponsored and crew chief for what was then the Dixie Wing and is now Airbase Georgia. I gave them to the three people who most supported the restoration project! I only purchased the one for myself with the awesome detailed cockpit! I purchased two PA-28-180 Archer II models with the detailed cockpit for myself and my son who jointly own N3056Z! I regret that I purchased my Piper Cub NC 42269 model before you offered the detailed cockpit! It has been sold so I no longer have access to the interior! Otherwise, I would order another one! The Cub is a great model for having a detailed cabin! There you have it, I have 5 models in my “stable” manufactured by the artisans of FDM! These models bring me great joy, pride and fond memories of my General Aviation career! I have supplied at least 7 models with my friends! Needless to say, I have been a regular longtime very satisfied customer! You produce an awesome product! Additionally, it has been very easy to communicate with you and you keep me informed with the progress and the photos for final approval! I have nothing but praise for you and the models you made for me! My sincerest “thanks” to all the people involved in producing your models at FDM! Mike McGowan

The model of my Piper Aztec PA23-250 is immaculate. I am very pleased with the work that you do and I will definitely recommend you to my friends. I'm very anxious to get the model of my Pitts N371WS now. Thanks so much for the excellent work that you do.
