I'm a fanatic about accuracy, and details. Each model represents hundreds of hours in combined research and 3D modeling, as well as updates that I do over the years, following software and hardware improvements. When possible, I go right "to the top", contacting the manufacturer, and often pay for the documentation I use. For many years, my approach has been to price these as to my opinion of what they're worth, based on all of that work. For example, my original model of the Piaggio "Avanti" P180, done in 1996, sold for many years, at $999 via Viewpoint Digital.) Today, that aircraft, which has been completely rebuilt, for better accuracy and with many more details, is $300 here.

The digital nature of these products means that they could be copied and redistributed, which not only kills your investment, but harms my business. Today, my liberal licensing agreement gives you permission to use these models in any image or animation as you wish, with no requirement to credit me, (although appreciated) but prohibits you from redistributing them in any way. In today's economy, I sell very few of these… typically only to large companies or modeling shops who need a pre-built model, in order to meet a deadline. So, to make them more accessible to everyone, I've made more of my models available, and at lower prices. Naturally, I do custom models too, so if you have a project in mind, contact me. I've put together a brief pricing guide here, which will give you an idea of what to expect. My business involves all kinds of 3D modeling, not just aircraft.

To purchase any model in this catalog, simply Email me with your request. I will then email you a copy of the licensing agreement, along with a PayPal "money request", for the amount shown here. Since most of these models are too large to be sent via email, they're delivered to you on a DVD, via US postal service. (Various file formats available, depending on your needs, including native modo format, (lxo) LightWave Object, McNeel Rhino 3DM, Autodesk DXF, Autodesk FBX, Autodesk FBX 2006.11, Wavefront OBJ, and 3D Studio 3DS.) I take care of my customers. If you have a problem with a particular file format, I'll work with you and try to get you a version that works better with your software.

Coming soon - Cessna 310K in Museum Scale
$350.00

This model is being finalized now for inclusion in my 3D Catalog. It features an accurate exterior, along with a paint scheme based on an actual aircraft, (N6935L) structural interior for the fuselage, wings, tail parts, and landing gear, completely-detailed cabin and cockpit, and (in .lxo format) is rigged for animation. It's the primary subject on my latest DVD, "Modeling with modo, Volume Four - Details", released in September, 2011. More info on the DVD, including preview movies, here.

New!-Northrop T-38 "Talon"
$160.00

Along with the Cessna 310K above, this is one of the newest models in my 3D Catalog. It includes a scale exterior, medium-level interior, and (in .lxo format) is rigged for animation, including the flight controls, retractable landing gear with sequencing doors, and along with the lighting system, an animated beacon and retractable landing light. Since the documentation used is public domain, all those documents are included, as well as the original sub-d parts and boolean cutters, so you can see the methods used to build it.
