Its time to meet the maker!
"Hi, I'm Jon! I love aviation & making things so Battlebirds Models is a real passion & I put my heart into every model I make from scratch. Im often asked if I use 3D parts or kit parts, and the answer is no. I believe in handcrafted workmanship and each piece is made to realistic scale as closely as possible. So, let me know what aircraft would like scratch built and I will make it with love, in your custom paint scheme & livery. I am available via WhatsApp +27722178960 for quotes or e-mail [email protected]
I am excited to take on more challenges!"
