What is model aircraft?
An aircraft model is unmanned small size aircraft most commonly
referred to as a scale model. This is an imaginary or replica of an

The static model (those that are not meant to fly), are mostly

static models come in form of kits. This static can be for research uses

new models. They can be modeled as a whole or parts only. The static
models are not only limited to aircraft but to boats, ships, animals,
soldiers, and even houses.
