  • Help to buy models that do not fly

    Hi guys,
    I am interested in buying some planes, but not for flying, but for interior design and I need them used or without motor, or else, just for fun...
    Do anybody knows where can I buy or order good looking big size models (military models jet or WW2) ???
    I need not damaged or broken models, just not to fly...

    I hope I did not offend this community, I just need assistance....

    I can't see why this could offend anyone. It's an honest question.

    Take a look at planes that are "ARF's". These come with everything except the motor/ESC and sometimes lacking a few other things. They are generally cheaper and on the outside, look exactly the same as those that fly. You can also find used models in places like Kijiji or estate sales or at your local clubs. There are plenty of models out there that are in pristine condition but the owner simply don't want or need them anymore. MotionRC and RC Castle sell ARF's, as does Horizon Hobby, although their inventory on ARF's are more limited. You can also find "kits" in places like AliExpress or Banggood. These have even less "innards" and are even cheaper but look no different than planes that are equipped to fly. Also try eBay or Amazon. You may still have to assemble them and put decals on, but that's part of the hobby even though you aren't really looking at this from that perspective.
