Model Airways museum quality wood and metal aircraft kits feature true-to-life structral details, reproducing virtually every facet of the real aircraft. Materials include birch parts for the wings and fuselage, metal parts for the engine, accurately scaled brass and steel parts, and copper wire for tensioning. The most interesting feature of the Model Airways kit is its open airframe, normally hidden under layers of cloth or canvas the laser-cut wooden frames are uncovered to show the intricacies of construction. You’ll find birch fuselage bulkheads, wing ribs and pilot’s seat, basswood fuselage stringers and wing rib caps plus an authentic engine and airframe fittings recreated in metal.
