Testimonials

Hello,

This is to thank you for creating my model of my Tecnam Sierra.

It is rare in today's world to have such personalized service and attention to detail. The communication was excellent. The model has turned out perfect, and I am so pleased.

This is the third model Airplane I have purchased from you, over a period of 20 years, and I think you are the top of your game right now. It is an excellent experience in every way.

Thank you so much!

Good morning Jason,

Jim here to express my gratitude for the outstanding work your crew did on my C7A Caribou ( FD24-1291 ) project.
When I received my order last Monday and open the package I was in awe of what I saw and tears came into my eyes , was so over joyed and so many memories came back in a blink.

Your firm beat and met all of my expectations. The detail is so amazing and to what I can remember.

So once again I want truly send my thanks and you made one Vietnam Veteran very happy and proud to have serviced my country in a time of need.

Also sending you a couple of pictures, hope can see my enjoyment.

Sincerely Jim Herrmann
Hope to see and meet you at Oshkosh, in July.

Received the model and was blown away how sharp it is. Gave it to my daughter and her grandfather 2 days ago and it really made a lasting impression.

The level of detail, color match, paint scheme, interior, cockpit etc. are amazing and was a huge bonus and a great conversation piece!

I appreciate all the efforts that went into this model. FDM staff are truly gifted and professional and can’t thank you enough.

As a bonus my daughter looked up FDM right away and searched for her 152 and to our surprise this model is already posted and takes center stage. It is masterfully written up in the description https://www.factorydirectmodels.com/gallery-details/10805-cessna-152-airplane-model-with-a-detailed-interior/ which added an even greater impression!

Again, can’t thank FDM enough and specifically Jason and Elmer for their coordination and professional efforts. First class all around.

Dear Team at FDM,

I was recently thrilled to receive as a 60th Birthday gift a model of my King Air C 90 aircraft. This was given to me by my children as a gift for the special day.

What a treasure…!!!

This is my first aircraft and I am about to take delivery any day now.

As time goes by, we plan to add to the aircraft fleet. We will order a model each time we add an aircraft.

I have the special model proudly displayed on my Board room table and the lovely comments when anyone sees it are amazing.

The detail and craftmanship of this model is extraordinary - Thank you for such a special treasure.

Good morning Jason, Lauren,

We received our 2 custom painted Caravans today and they are awesome. Please pass on to your team that my leadership is very impressed. They are so impressed that I have been asked to inquire if a discount would be possible if we placed a larger order for these? I don’t have quantities yet, and don’t want to make promises, but we could be looking for 10-20 additional units.

Thanks again for all your assistance. We look forward to partnering with you on future orders.

Please have a great day.

Mike -

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am to have my model of the L-39 C. It is absolutely perfect in every detail, especially your work on the cockpit. Every time I look at it, I am reminded of how much fun I had flying the plane, and how I look forward to future flights. Please thank your staff for producing such a great work of art.

Best regards,
Paul Hamilton

Mike,

Just a quick note to tell you how special your team is. They do amazing work!

The order I placed a bit more than a year ago was for a gift for one of my lifetime friends. We ran EMS calls together as young volunteers when we were in school, nearly 35 years ago.

His Lanceair 300 (41VC) was destroyed in the Nashville tornadoes - one of many lost at JWN. He has since purchased another aircraft, but that 300 was special. So, I had your team build a model of it, replicating exacting details from some photos I was able to provide. Needless to say, he was so surprised to receive the model and proudly displays it in his office.

Thank you for the genuine craftsmanship and pride of work that your team delivers. The work they do is truly special.

Best wishes,

Ted Johnson

I received the beautiful model of MY rocket ship earlier this week. It looks better than the photo I approved. I am ecstatic about it. Please relay my happiness to all the people who worked on this project.

Thank you,

My name is Javier from Chile and I bought a C210 model for my dad.

He went to tears, as he couldn't believe his beloved plane was so well scaled, He spends every day looking at the details, even the headphones over the headrest!

Congratulations guys, you did an incredible job and should be extremely proud of it.

Thank you and regards!
Javier

WOW!! Awesome! Fantastic Memory Jogger! That is the aircraft that launched a career in Aviation that started in May of 1958 and came to a very successful closure when I retired, this month, June, 2022. Thirty Three years as an Airline Pilot; Thirteen years certifying ex-military single-engine jet fighter and training aircraft into the EXPERIMENTAL category; Two years as a fractional-ownership Corporate Aircraft jet pilot; Finally, fifteen years as a Flight Simulator Instructor and Training Center Evaluator. With all that said, nothing ever eclipsed the priviledge and satisfaction of checking out in the "Beloved" T-34 Mentor. Beautifully rendered ladies and gents, very obviously, ALL with the hearts of Aviators, I salute you all, Brethren of the air. Blue Skies Always.
