Testimonials

Hank,

The Bellanca arrived early this a.m. I have seldom seen such excellent workmanship. Every minute detail has been faithfully reproduced, right down to the assist handle on the starboard side!The color scheme and design is bang on as well.

I realize we Bellanca Owner/Drivers are relatively few, but you might consider including it in your catalog examples- feel free to picture mine as an example.

Thanks for a superb job! Can't take my eyes off it....

Hank,

I received the shipping info from Maricar and look forward to seeing the 2 custom models.

I also wanted to mention that have greatly enjoyed working with your sales representative, Mike. Compared to those I have dealt with at other companies, he is a real breath of fresh air! He has been extremely helpful and has a wealth of resource material to help assure accuracy and completeness of model detail. He seems genuinely interested in the subject matter and getting things right. This is very important to me in completing my model collection.

After receiving my model I was in total amazement.

I never thought it would be an exact perfect replica of my own 1994 Bellanca Super Viking.

The craftmanship on this aircraft is absolutely amazing.

Every little detail was bang on, from the logo on the prop to the handles on the doors.

I would highly recommend anyone wanting to purchase one to do so. You will not be disappointed,

I still keep looking at the plane, and am stunned by its true nature.

These are keepsakes that will last a lifetime, and it will always remind me of my aircraft and how beautiful it really is... long after I cant fly anymore.
I will always cherish this model. It will be a treasured keepsake.

I believe anyone who orders and receives one, will be thouroughly surprised by how much detail and time goes into these aircraft models, they are absolutely perfect!

Thank you for a job done to perfection.

Hank, Mike, Jim & Maricar,

This model is just as I expected it would be -- "Flawless in every detail". After three models I am still amazed at the attention to detail and craftmanship. Your models are truly phenominal.

Thanks again for delivering everything as promised. There will be more orders comming as soon as I can locate pictures of the Lear 25D, Falcon 20 and Hawker 800XP.

Hi Mike,

I just wanted to shoot you an email to thank you for getting the GIII to us.
I know that you pulled some special strings to get it here and we really appreciate it. Please pass my gratitude to the co-owner of the company. It was very nice of him to hand carry it all the way from the Philippines. I'm sure that NBAA is a very busy time for FDM and you went the extra mile for a small company like us. We will definitely be doing business again with you soon!

Best,

Once again, thank you very much!!

Dear Maricar,

yesterday I have finally received my beautiful model. I am in total awe about the workmanship. This miniature of my airplane now graces my workdesk and reminds me every day why I am working so hard.

Thank you very much again for your great support. I will recommend you to all my flying buddies of German Historic Flight (http://www.german-historic-flight.de), a group of people who own and operate historic and or rare aircraft. I guess the potential for quite a few models will be there!

Best regards,

Dear Maricar,

We just received the model of the BAe Jet Stream J41. Simply outstanding in all respects. The paint scheme is truly impressive. How you managed to recreate the detail in the logos via bespoke decals is beyond me. A wonderful rendering of a great aircraft. More orders comimg your way!! Have a great Christmas.

Mike

Mike,

I must say I was quite surprised by the gift my wife Jane gave to me this Christmas! The model's attention to detail and quality craftsmanship is phenomenal! I guess she saw your booth while we attended AOPA's convention in Tampa this year, and she was very clever in keeping me 'out' of the loop. I just wanted to say, the model of our airplane, N56149 is EXACTLY as the plane exists. Your company's detail and quality and from what Jane tells me, your service, is refreshing in today's 'just get by' environment. We will keep the model in a very special place and will recommend your company to any and all!

I want to send you a note of gratitude and thanks for such an outstanding job on the Cessna 177 I ordered for my father-in-law. Not only was it a beautiful model, but he absolutely loved it! My wife and I caught him just starring at it a couple of times. The detail was very good and the colors were perfect.

I did notice the shipment was from Angeles City; in 1988 or '89, I was in Angeles City and purchased an Army UH-60, and an Army C-12 with specific colors and numbers. The quality was not nearly as good as the Cessna.

Thank you very much for the Cessna, and have a happy New Year.
