In the classified ads in each monthly issue of Fine Scale Modeler magazine, there are always a few ads for folks who build models on commission.

I do this, Sir. I even have photos of some of the things that I've built, but I'm not doing anything at the moment - my Grandma just died last thursday. Otherwise I'd do it for you. I've done this for other members of these forums before. These would be expensive to ship as they would have to be packed REAL WELL. If you can't find someone to do this let me know, and I'll what I can do. What era of fighters do you have? Are these modern, WWI - WWII, Vietnam era, etc. Meaning do they have antennas, and small breakable parts? You might even want to consider having bases made, or ship them with the models so that they can be finished when the models are built. This would make it easier for you to have them glued to the base, and it could be bolted on the bottom to a wooden plaque, or frame to hold them in place while being shipped.

I'm sorry - we just buried my Grandma tuesday. I've been trying to get back on the horse, but motivation has been bad. I'll send you the link to the stuff that I've done recently. I didn't take pictures of all the stuff I've done in the past - why is anyones' guess since I've had so many projects that I've made not just built. There are a couple online that I did a few years ago for other people. I'll send them to you through P.M. This way you can decide if you want me to do it, or find someone else. How soon do you need these done? I'm working a little bit off and on, but I will be back in full swing next week meaning that I'll be busy and time will be something that I'll be short on until further notice.
