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,

Jordan was totally amazed with it... He kept staring at it and taking photos of it to show his friends. He said he would recommend you guys to his pilot friends!!

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!

Regards,

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.

Mike!

I wanted to email you and let you know what a raving success this model was! My husband was speechless! He could not believe how accurate your model was. He stared at it constantly and keep pointing out different aspects of the plane that you got "bang on".

Needless to say we will be ordering all of our planes through you! Thank you so much!

Received a month ago and I am still stunned by it. Thanks so much for making my blind leap of faith into a triumph.

A brilliant work of art and at an unbelievably great price for the quality and value.

Also, I want to thank you, personally, for promptly and courteously responding to my request by sending the additional photos and the list of changes I sought. When you provided the information I wanted, I was satisfied and felt confident to send my approval of the model.
