PlaneArtsAustralia is a relative newcomer to the Australian Market but from the 6th June 2025 we will begin building up our eBay Store by gradually adding more and more models.
For many years we have been, and are still active in the UK through our eBay store "PlaneArts". If you don't find what you need here please just message us and ask for what you need, and we'll let you have pricing.
"You never really own a PlaneArts model - you merely look after it for the next generation"
The dimensions of the above model are as follows:
WINGSPAN: 11.80 INCHES (29.80 CM), LENGTH: 11.30 INCHES (28.80 CM), SCALE: 1:72
This model replica is painstakingly hand carved and then hand painted out of solid kiln dried mahogany wood (from renewable sources) by our highly experienced and talented craftsmen at our Filipino owned factory near the original Clark Air Base in Pampanga and takes about 9-10 weeks to manufacture. Production in our factory is supervised by our own resident British Pilot who ensures that exact blueprints are used for these meticulously detailed scale models custom manufactured and precisely engineered to your exact specifications and that will be cherished by all.
The model will be exactly as you see in the above and below images in terms of detailing (doors, windows, lights, control surface markings, antennas etc.) color and size so we would kindly ask you to study the images very carefully (if you require higher resolution images please ask) to make sure that the model as you see is the 100% the same version you require or expect. If there are changes that you require or mistakes or deference's in relation to the real aircraft before ordering, please message us and we will setup an alternative listing to match your own requirements. We request your understanding on this matter due to the fact that these handmade models are traveling in many cases halfway around the world and any misunderstandings or mistaken expectations must be addressed at this as point of time as we cannot be held responsible for the costs involved in returning and replacing the model. The model will be shipped with the stand you see in the images although you may request if you like to change to either 1, 6 or 7 as in the attached image examples (just message us if a change is required.
It is our aim to continue to be a "sustainable" manufacturer avoiding the use of man-made materials wherever possible such as plastics, resins or metal in an attempt to reduce our Carbon Footprint and to protect our environment for generations to come. Our models are "works of art" and not to be confused with mass made plastic kits or diecast (die cast) look-alikes. We are proud Filipino's exporting to all parts of the globe and creating employment opportunities in an impoverished part of our country.
100% handmade models naturally come at a higher price than off the shelf, plastic or diecast (die cast) models but it may interest you to know that an average regular size fixed wing or helicopter model takes on average a total of 26 dedicated Man Hours of work to produce. During this time the model transitions through over 40 different manufacturing stages and processes. The 26 hours are not consecutive and require in-between many days (and in some cases weeks) of drying and curing time as they pass from one department to another making the overall production time from an outsiders point of view appear rather lengthy. Given these facts the time period we quote for production alone is very standard for our type of industry and among our close competitors. If you are interested in what goes into making these models, there follows a summary process schedule and video.

The fully assembled model comes with a stained solid mahogany (or mahogany with steel arm) stand and is ready to display on your desk, bookcase or wherever you desire. The photographs you see have not been manipulated or digitally edited - they are exactly as the model looks in real life, but unfortunately even digital photography cannot do full justice to the look and feel of the model once you receive it!
PlaneArts have been producing models for over 20 years which are honed to perfection by the dexterity of our Skilled Master Craftsmen and carefully checked at all stages of manufacture by our dedicated Quality Assurance Team. We promote internationally on eBay to ensure our products get the best exposure worldwide. Due to a high level of demand and the huge diversity of aircraft types and liveries most models are made to order and take about 9-10 weeks to produce (excluding National and Public Holidays). You will also notice that we offer models often way below the price of other companies advertising on the eBay. We are able do this because of the direct manufacturing and selling basis of our business - models direct from the factory and not from an intermediary or trading / marketing company. All models are shipped internationally through FedEx, UPS or DHL Express Courier (Door to Door worldwide within about 3 business days). Fully traceable and insured against damage or loss).
Apart from those models you see in our eBay store - using your photos or images, we will make you a personalized replica model of your aircraft with your own individual paint scheme, logos, registration number, antennas and all the details that make your airplane special. You can even upgrade and personalize your model with a fully customized transparent interior to match your seats, colors, instrument panel and all other important interior details. Alternatively, we can copy any current or historic commercial or military airplane or helicopter that has ever flown just by giving us images or photos. Each meticulously detailed scale model is custom manufactured and precisely engineered to your exact specifications. We will build you a model that will not only meet your expectations but will go far beyond and with detail that will amaze you!
If you do not see the model you require in our eBay Store please message us on eBay with a description and images of what you require including the size or scale of the desired model and we will then do a dedicated listing for you on eBay. Our Customer Service Team will then help you with questions you may have and upon request update you on the status of your order. Our Production Team will work with you personally during construction until your model is ready to taxi on its journey to your own door in its foam fitted heavy duty export packaging.

Embraer Legacy Praetor 600: The Pinnacle of Super-Midsize Jet Travel
The Embraer Legacy Praetor 600 stands as one of the most advanced and capable aircraft in the super-midsize business jet category. Developed by Brazilian aerospace manufacturer Embraer, the Praetor 600 blends long-range performance, cutting-edge technology, and luxurious comfort, delivering a level of sophistication that redefines expectations in private aviation.
A Super-Midsize Jet That Flies Like a Heavy Jet
Introduced in 2019, the Praetor 600 was designed as an upgrade to the Legacy 500, bringing enhanced range, upgraded avionics, and increased operational versatility. With a maximum range of approximately 4,018 nautical miles, it is capable of flying nonstop from New York to London or from São Paulo to Miami—routes that were traditionally reserved for larger, more expensive aircraft.
Its performance is powered by two Honeywell HTF7500E engines, enabling the jet to cruise comfortably at a speed of Mach 0.83 and reach a service ceiling of 45,000 feet. With superior short-field capabilities and steep approach certification, the Praetor 600 can access more airports than many of its competitors, including challenging runways like London City.
Cabin Design and Comfort
One of the defining features of the Praetor 600 is its ultra-refined cabin. With a flat-floor design, a height of 6 feet, and a length of over 27 feet, the cabin can comfortably seat up to 12 passengers, depending on configuration. Every detail is designed for luxury and productivity—from fully reclining, berthable seats to a six-place conference and dining area.
Cabin altitude is maintained at just 5,800 feet even when flying at 45,000 feet, significantly reducing passenger fatigue. Large windows provide natural light throughout the space, while advanced soundproofing keeps the interior remarkably quiet.
Technology integration is seamless. The cabin is equipped with high-speed internet, touchscreen controls, and an advanced in-flight entertainment system. A full galley, an enclosed lavatory, and generous luggage space round out the amenities, making the Praetor 600 suitable for long, comfortable journeys across continents.
Cockpit and Avionics
The Praetor 600 features one of the most sophisticated flight decks in its class. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite offers four large high-resolution displays, synthetic vision, advanced weather radar, and autothrottle. These features enhance situational awareness and reduce pilot workload, improving safety and efficiency.
One of the standout technical elements of the aircraft is its full fly-by-wire control system. This advanced technology, rare in jets of this size, provides precise handling, a smoother ride, and increased fuel efficiency by automatically adjusting control surfaces to current flight conditions.
Operational Efficiency and Sustainability
Despite its impressive performance and size, the Praetor 600 is also remarkably efficient. Thanks to a combination of aerodynamic improvements, lightweight composite materials, and intelligent systems, the aircraft offers excellent fuel economy for its category.
Embraer has prioritized environmental responsibility in the design of the Praetor series. The aircraft’s efficiency contributes to lower carbon emissions, and it is compatible with sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). These capabilities help position the Praetor 600 as a forward-looking choice for environmentally conscious operators and travelers.
Market Position and Recognition
The Praetor 600 has earned significant acclaim since its launch. It has been recognized for offering the longest range and highest speed in the super-midsize segment, outperforming many of its peers in both metrics. Its performance, combined with operational flexibility and a luxurious cabin, has made it a popular choice among fractional ownership programs, charter operators, and private owners.
It bridges the gap between midsize affordability and large-cabin capability, offering a unique value proposition for travelers who demand global reach without the size and cost of a heavy jet.
Conclusion
The Embraer Legacy Praetor 600 is more than just a business jet—it’s a strategic asset for global travel. Whether used for executive missions, transatlantic trips, or high-end leisure travel, it delivers exceptional range, comfort, and performance. By offering the capabilities of a larger aircraft in a super-midsize frame, the Praetor 600 represents the future of private aviation: fast, efficient, and luxurious without compromise.
