I am involved in a project to prepare a travelling display relating to WWII and am after a series of carved wooden aircraft models as part of the display - wood is preferred because the display will be on the road for twelve months so they need to be strong and durable.

There used to be a bloke in Chiangmai who made these models and they were excellent - he had a small stand in the Sunday Walking Street each Sunday. I had his card but have lost it and I'd like to get in touch with him. Anybody here on Thaivisa know of this bloke and/or his contact details please?

Cheers,

Can not help with your request. But I would be interested in hearing about the display you are preparing as it progresses. If you do find the carved aircraft please add a photo and some details.

Thanks.

Chiang Mai forum probably yield better results.

I have not seen an wooden aircraft models for years. Somebody was making wooden OV10's and they looked realistic but it that might have been 10 years ago. I would cruise around Ban Tawai and ask. What they make at Ban Tawai changes all the time. Somebody may be making aircraft models or did so in the past.

Last resort: Google "Vietnam Wooden Airplane Models"

Very cheap; Extremely well made & properly packed for shipping.

If you need more help in this, just PM me
