I've recently had a bad experience that I thought I would share with you so maybe you wont experience the same thing. Back in October of last year I ordered 3 plane models of my plane to be made, long story why 3, from Griffin Aerospace Models www.griffinaerospace.com and had to pay for them up front, which I didn't mind doing. They told me that I should hopefully have them by Xmas, which was what I wanted. Come Xmas time they said there had been some delays because of XYZ but should be here the end of Jan but if not for sure first week of Feb.
On the third week of Feb I e-mailed them asking what the hold up was on the models. I also called and left them a voice mail with the same question, they never answer their phone, I received no response back from them. On march 9th I wrote them an e-mail, and called and left a voice mail, saying that it had been 5 months since I ordered the models and I needed them to respond and let me know when I could expect delivery of the models and if they didn't respond I would have Master Card reverse the charge for the models. I've never heard back from them and I have now reversed the charges for the models. They never even responded back to Master card on the reversing either.
I know that Tim had good luck, I think, with them but they definitely are not on top of their game now. If anyone is considering ordering a model of their plane I would suggest looking elsewhere other that Griffin, based on my experience.
Has any of you had good luck with another model maker?

I ordered one from a dealer on Ebay, I think they are made in the Phillipeans. The models are made of wood and painted. The RV10 wingspan is about 11 inches and I only purchased it for painting reasons, to try out my paint scheme.
The order was filled and shipped within a few weeks and the model is of high quality and was about $55. Unfortunely, my favorite one orderred is the Canadian version of a C130. Detail and paint scheme are amazing and it was the same price. They have a vary large selection of aircraft and I recommend them for doing business with.

Just do a search on ebay for RV10 Model and you get 2 results from
ecraft designs. They have 2 models. 11.5 inch and 16.6 inch wing
spans. $69 and $125 respectively. This is probably the vendor John is
referring to.
I thought Jesse was in the RV10 model business.

Wayne,
I have had no personal experience with this place, but my wife tells me that there is a place at Mecham that does them. One of the test pilots she works with really likes their work and goes there often. I don't know what the name of the place is, but it is next door to Air Source One pilot supplies. It's off Main street in Fort Worth, right across from the airport. Nice thing about them would be that you can walk in the front door and smack them around if they don't deliver.
