Your aircraft.
Your legacy.
Every flight you ever flew meant something. Every aircraft you ever commanded deserved better than a plastic model in a cardboard box. This is how you make sure it is never forgotten.
Honoring those who gave their lives
to the sky.
Not every piece belongs to an airline or a manufacturer. Some belong to the captain who flew 27,000 hours and never once took it for granted. The flight engineer who worked the panel through the night over the Pacific. The first officer who made it to the left seat after fifteen years of trying. The private pilot who bought a Cessna in 1974 and never looked back.
These are the people aviation was built by. A Contrail Models private commission is for them — hand-carved to their specific aircraft, their tail number, their livery, their career. Signed by a captain who understands exactly what it meant to fly it.
Tell us your aircraft, your airline, your tail number, and your story. Every commission begins with a conversation — not a shopping cart.
Captain Nastovski personally reviews every commission. Your specific livery, your tail number, your career documented in the piece. Nothing generic. Nothing off the shelf.
30+ hours of hand craftsmanship per piece. Premium materials. Brushed aluminum stand on solid walnut base. Built to the same standard as every Contrail Models Signature Series piece.
Numbered, dated, and signed personally by Captain Nastovski. Delivered in the Contrail Models premium humidor gift box. Up to 12 weeks from commission to delivery.
Two tiers.
One standard.
Every Contrail Models piece — regardless of tier — is hand-carved, numbered, dated, and signed by Captain Nastovski. The tier determines the level of personalization. The craftsmanship never changes.
