Hi guys.

My wife works on a corporate jet, a Challenger 604, and the crew have decided to try and find the owner a scale model replica of his jet as a desktop model.

We have about 4 weeks to locate said beastie, can anyone help?

Its gotta be the finished item.

Looking for a company that will build from a photo (incl reg) and not be in the States or need 8 weeks lead in time.

You mean, you want a professionally built, customised model of a Challenger 604 in a set of specific colours and markings?

Wifes boss is a Multibillionaire, I doubt I could construct a kit that would be more of an insult to give him than nothing TBO.frown

TBH the Revell kit, at 1:144 scale, would be a bit of a pathetic effort, even if it was perfectly built and finished.

The first link is for a CAD model, not a physical model...

How about approaching the people who made said company jet and asking whether they have any promotional models they're willing to sell?

Having models built to bespoke order by professional model makers is not cheap.

The original poster said nothing about scale, budget, quality, materials etc etc so it's very hard to give him meaningful advice.

Given the short time scale he is talking about, making use of pre-built publicity models or standard kits would be the best way forward.

Out of interest - what is the colour scheme? Do you have a photo?
