This model replica is painstakingly hand carved and then hand painted out of solid kiln dried mahogany wood (from renewable sources) by our highly experienced and talented craftsmen at our Filipino owned factory near the original Clark Air Base in Pampanga and takes about 8-10 weeks to manufacture.
It is our aim to continue to be a "sustainable" manufacturer avoiding the use of man-made materials wherever possible such as plastics, resins or metal in an attempt to reduce our Carbon Footprint and to protect our environment for generations to come. Our models are "works of art" and not to be confused with mass made plastic kits or diecast look–alike where almost all of these are Chinese manufactured. We are proud Filipino's exporting to all parts of the globe and creating employment opportunities in an impoverished part of our country.
Production in our factory is supervised by our own resident British Pilot who ensures that exact blueprints are used for these meticulously detailed scale models - custom manufactured and precisely engineered to your exact specifications and that will be cherished by all.

The fully assembled model comes with a stained solid mahogany (or mahogany with steel arm) stand and is ready to display on your desk, bookcase or wherever you desire. The photographs you see have not been manipulated or digitally edited - they are exactly as the model looks in real life, but unfortunately even digital photography cannot do full justice to the look and feel of the model once you receive it!
PlaneArts have been producing models for over 20 years which are honed to perfection by the dexterity of our Skilled Master Craftsmen and carefully checked at all stages of manufacture by our dedicated Quality Assurance Team. We promote internationally on eBay to ensure our products get the best exposure worldwide.

You will also notice that we offer models often way below the price of other companies advertising on the eBay. We are able do this because of the direct manufacturing and selling basis of our business - models direct from the factory and not from an intermediary or trading / marketing company. All models are shipped internationally through FedEx, UPS or DHL Express Courier (Door to Door worldwide within about 3 business days). Fully traceable and insured against damage or loss).

The aircraft’s advanced weather radar and traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) are among the key features that contribute to its notable safety record.
Environmental Considerations:
The CRJ900 reflects Bombardier’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The aircraft’s efficient engines and aerodynamic design reduce noise pollution and carbon footprint, making it a more acceptable option for operations in noise-sensitive areas. Lufthansa’s choice of the CRJ900 underscores the airline’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact and aligning with global sustainability goals.
Operational Versatility:
One of the CRJ900’s advantages is its operational versatility. The aircraft’s performance capabilities allow it to operate in a variety of environments, from hot and high conditions to short and challenging runways. This flexibility makes it an invaluable asset for airlines like Lufthansa, enabling them to serve a broader range of destinations efficiently and safely.
