Received the model today. What a GREAT job you did! It's just beautiful and I couldn't be happier with it.

I am just astonished at all the tiny details you included, and the accuracy of the model. It is better than I could have hoped!

Please pass my thanks for a gorgeous job along to the craftsmen involved in the production of this model.

Thank you so much!

FDM Team,

This is amazing work! I've already approved the design but wanted to thank you for all the hard work on this one as I know it was quite complex.

Will any of you be at OSH to thank personally? We're here all week exhibiting in Hangar B and would love to say hi and thank you!

Thank you so much.

Hi Kirsten,

I received my RV10 model yesterday in South Africa, thank you.

I must be honest I am blown away with the quality and attention to detail of the replica model produced of my RV10 which now proudly sits on my desk.

I believe this should be placed on your website as it is a stunning replica of the RV10.

Kind Regards,

Your service is amazing!  He just got home from a month of training on the challenger, now to celebrate!  Thanks again!!

Just arrived. I have to say, you guess knocked out out of the park again. A fantastic job especially considering the lack of documentation for such custom work. This truly will be a cherished trophy when presented to an icon of model aircraft precision acrobatics Mr. Ron Chidgey.

Best regards,

No problem. I am very happy with how you handled it. Customer service is easy when everything goes normal. You had a chance to shine when things went wrong, and I think you handled it perfectly. It makes it even easier to recommend FDM to my friends

FDM is a wonderful company to deal with. For over 30 years, since early 1980’s, I have dealt with Mike Gibson. Kathy and I have presented models to people all over the world at trade shows and as special gifts. Our home office is adorned with the pride and craftsmanship of your model builders. We conduct business all over the world in business aviation dealing with the wealth of the world. The Falcon 900 which was recently completed for a customer in Panama can be seen in the attached photo, beside Boeing but hard to really make out in first photo. Last photo shows it better. Plan to ship to him on his birthday. We have over 50 FDM models on standoff locations, 360 degrees around the office. Please refer to photos attached.

Please know that every day we think of FDM and the team of people who create these beautiful sculpture models. Thank you so much.

We wish you continued success, good health and happiness, always!

AL salaam alikom shabaab.
Thanks very much I received my sweet airplane yesterday . I like it very much. Thank you and thank everybody work in my company airplane model. Its an art.
Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

See you in next airplane.

Kirsten,

Received your email for Approval pictures, wanted to let you know and everyone there are not enough words to describe the Model I just saw of Laker Skytrain DC10. The airplane is phenomenal, resembles the actual aircraft in the day when it actual flew, it has brought back my days and memories when I flew on it as a young adult and also booked it for other passengers since I am a travel agent.

FDM is truly a Company that produces Museum Quality Models, that I have never seen before until today. The craftsmanship, to all the people who work for FDM on both sides, in the USA and the Philippines are amazing talented people who truly know their work, and are great with the Customers also.

Kirsten I approved the pictures and the Model and can't wait to see the Plane Model. Also getting ready to place my next Order now.

Thank you Kirsten

Sincerely yours
Michael Berry

Dear Mike,

I have just got back to Dubai and seen the models.
I wanted to let you know that we think they are excellent and an exact match to the real aircraft. Not only are the models great but the whole service, from ordering to photo confirmation and the adjustments required to delivery went off without a hitch. You exceeded my expectations all round. Well done to all at FDM.

Best Regards,
Mike Cappuccitti
