Cherished toys used as decor can be a fun way to add a touch of whimsy to your home or office, but the line between childhood nostalgia and Peter Pan Syndrome is a thin one. For a sophisticated yet endearing display, wooden model airplanes are a great choice.
Style
Often exquisitely detailed in their replication of commercial, private aircraft, and wooden military model airplanes are seen as pieces of art as much as they are carefully detailed doppelgangers. A museum quality wooden model airplane can add a touch of stylish sophistication to any room.
The best wooden model airplanes are often hand carved from handsome rosewood or mahogany and painted with as many as 35 coats of high quality acrylic. Depending on your personal tastes and design aesthetic, a wooden model airplane can be painted in realistic detail or finished with a clear lacquer to let the natural grain of the wood show through. Whether your aim is an accurate replica or sleek, stylized version of your favorite aircraft, a wooden commercial model airplane is the perfect centerpiece for your den, study, or office. |  |
Treasured piece
Ideally, a piece as fine as a wooden civilian model airplane should be kept in a safe display area such as a curio cabinet or glass case. Occasional dusting with a soft cloth and a gentle touch is all the maintenance a wooden model airplane needs.
You don't need to be a former pilot or aeronautics professor to enjoy a wooden model airplane, just a kid at heart who appreciates finely crafted artwork and the limitless feelings of adventure and freedom that wooden model planes evoke.
