Default RE: flite metal

Hey Dino,

As an example, ( based on P-47 aircraft that have been MetalMorphed) a CARF 110" P-47 will run at $4125. This includes every door, part, canopy etc ... primed, plated, and polished to an aircraft grade aluminum finish. A yellow aircraft P-47 would be $3375 by comparison. .. so figure one of yours would probably end us somewhere just under $4k .

Paint with customer supplied masks for stars and bars as an example would be around $400 - $400 if you want us to do it ... otherwise, you just need an etching primer. We also have a nomenclature decal kit that works with the aluminum, and allows you to print "dry transfer" style decals right from ANY laser printer .. even ways to do white "


Rivet and scale screw work goes in after the plating, and looks absolutely awesome... either hot iron, or scribed rivets look great.


For smaller items, we can do by the sq foot ( 1sq' min ) starting at

$185 for 1 sq'
$175 for 2 - 5 sq'
$165 for 5 sq' and up ...


I will have a full pricing matrix up on our site for reference soon also . I know many guys have wondered how much it costs. It is on the pricy side, but comparitavely, so would be a good airbrush paint job with mirror perfect clear ... the metal can be dulled, or scuffed to look like real aircraft skin .. if you dont like it , juts polish it out back to a shine .. the metal is very very durable and will not crack or peel off at all.


all best,
