Hallo Mike

I have just received my two models. They fully live up to my expectations!!
These were the models in which, I spent many hours before advancing to an airline.
Nice to have on the desk.

Nice work throughout, please let the "carpenter" and painter know.
I wont hesitate next time, where to put my order.

Happy Easter

Best regards

Hello. My good friend, Ed Viveiros, had a model made for me. My Dad was a Navy pilot who died, on active duty, at the age of 35. As I became proficient at researching the Internet I found out all about his career. I was given a mug from his Squadron mates at his funeral. I was only 10 years old. It took me 45 years to connect the mug with him. The Squadron logo on the base of the model is a perfect match to the mug.

The Skyraider your company made is exquisite. Every time I see the model it brings back memories and pride in my Dad. Thanks to all who helped my friend make my family an heirloom.

I have one word that all military people understand; OUTSTANDING !

Hello Lauren.

Voila!! Just to let you know that my P3C Orion was just delivered!! After unpacking and putting on display I can only marvel at the accuracy and beauty of the model. Talk about nastalgia, I'm looking at the very plane I flew in almost 42 years ago. Thank you so much for all you have done to make this possible. I'll send you some pictures as soon as possible.

Warm Regards

Hi Mike,

I want to say thanks for the amazing service and product we received when we ordered a model from you guys. It was just a Cherokee but the recipient of the gift was a retiring federal judge and it meant the world to her that we gave her such a personalized gift.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know you guys are doing it right.

My thanks to YOU!! The model you made for me is amazing; absolutely perfect in every detail (Maule N1055X).

I love it!

I received my Cessna 310 (Military version) model on 4 June 13. The wait was long but worth it.

The model is perfect. I am very pleased with it. I sent an E-Mail to the factory expressing my appreciation and commending their workmanship.

To Whom it May Concern,

Today I received a surprise birthday gift from my brother. It was a model of my 1977 Varga Kachina N4631V!
I LOVE IT!
The workmanship is perfect and the attention to detail is outstanding!
This is something I will treasure for many, many years!
Thank you for a job well done!

Sincerely,
David B. Gurkin

Hi Melisa.

Hope all is well with you.

I received my RV-4 Model on Dec 19 2012 but wanted to open it on Christmas day. I'm glad that I waited because when I opened the box, I was simply amazed with the finished product. I couldn't have been happier with the quality of workmanship that was put in to my model. It looks exactly like my real one and whenever I can't get down to the hanger to see my airplane, I just have to look at my model.

I want to thank you and your staff for taking the time and effort to due my model to my specifications.

I will highly recommend Factory Direct Models (FDM) to anyone I know who owns an airplane.

All the best to everyone in the New Year and again thanks.

Hello,
Every time I look at the model of my husbands plane that you built I am so delighted. It is a great service that you provide. I am surprised that you do not request feedback for other potential customers to see, I would recommend you 110% !!

Best regards,
Colette Frawley-Bailey

Thank you so much for the recent safe delivery of the model of my MD500 model. I am extremely happy with it, especially considering that the colour scheme is somewhat challenging!

The level of detail is outstanding, both inside and outside. The factory were very careful to get my approval of the interior before it was installed and it is spot-on.

As a hobby shop owner I can be critical of some models, but yours are perfect. Outstanding.
Thanks again,

Kind regards,
James McAlpine

To whom it may concern:

I just had to write you to let you know how pleased I am with my display model. It far exceeds my expectations! Your modelers are the finest that I know of. I have a fairly large number of display aircraft and none are as precise as this one.

From my initial call to discuss having the model created to delivery has been a seemless process. Providing photos of the completed model, before shiping, is a great customer satisfaction concept. Your employee with whom I originally talked with was very knowledgable. I am in the process of gathering photos and information for having you make additional display models. I only wish I used your Company when I started collecting wood display models.

Again, my deepest appreciation for the quality. Look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Regards,

Robert H. Lehmann

Dear Lauren and Jim,

My model arrived yesterday I am really pleased with the result! I have purchased many models for clients to whom I’ve sold aircraft but this is the nicest, most detailed and authentic I’ve presented.

Monday morning I’ll surprise the friend I sold my Comanche to I know he will be blown away! I’ll send photos of a new Cessna Turbo 206 as soon as I shoot them to order another for a very close friend who has models of every aircraft he has owned…none as nice as y’all do.

Thanks and I look forward to doing more business!

Sincerely,
Pete Ettinger
