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:
LENGTH: 11.90 INCHES (30.30 CM), WINGSPAN: 11.30 INCHES (28.70 CM), SCALE: 1:100
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.

Bombardier Global 6000 NetJets: A Deep Dive into Luxury and Performance in Business Aviation
The Bombardier Global 6000, operated by NetJets, represents a pinnacle of private aviation, offering a unique combination of long-range capability, advanced technology, and cabin luxury. This aircraft is a flagship model in both Bombardier’s Global series and NetJets’ premium fleet, appealing to discerning travelers who demand performance without compromising on comfort.
Overview of the Bombardier Global 6000
The Global 6000 is part of Bombardier’s long-range, large-cabin aircraft family. First introduced in 2012 as an evolution of the Global Express XRS, the aircraft was designed to meet the needs of ultra-long-distance business travelers. With a range of approximately 6,000 nautical miles, the Global 6000 is capable of flying non-stop between major global city pairs such as New York to Tokyo, London to Los Angeles, or Dubai to Sydney.
Key specifications include a top speed of Mach 0.89 and a cruising altitude of 51,000 feet. These performance characteristics allow the aircraft to fly above commercial air traffic and weather systems, offering smoother and more efficient flights.
NetJets and the Global 6000
NetJets, the world’s largest private jet operator and a pioneer in fractional jet ownership, offers the Global 6000 as part of its Signature Series. This program emphasizes customization, consistency, and premium service. Clients who purchase a share in a NetJets Global 6000 enjoy guaranteed access, simplified scheduling, and a fleet maintained to the highest standards of safety and service.
NetJets’ version of the Global 6000 is outfitted with custom interiors tailored to client preferences. It typically accommodates up to 13 passengers and includes features such as a dedicated crew rest area, a spacious galley, and an aft stateroom that can convert into a full bed. These amenities make it ideal for both business and leisure travel, particularly on intercontinental routes.
Cabin Experience
The cabin of the NetJets Global 6000 is a standout feature. With a length of over 48 feet, it is divided into three distinct zones, which can be configured for productivity, dining, or rest. The aircraft’s advanced soundproofing technology ensures a quiet environment, while its cabin altitude of just 4,500 feet at cruising altitude minimizes fatigue on long flights.
The onboard entertainment and connectivity systems are state-of-the-art. Passengers have access to high-speed Ka-band internet, allowing for video conferencing, streaming, and continuous communication with the ground. The cabin also features large windows that let in ample natural light, enhancing the overall travel experience.
Performance and Operational Advantages
From a performance standpoint, the Global 6000 is built for flexibility and reliability. It can operate from shorter runways than many aircraft in its class, making it suitable for a wide range of airports. Its advanced avionics suite, the Bombardier Vision flight deck, includes fly-by-wire technology and synthetic vision systems, offering pilots superior situational awareness and flight precision.
Maintenance and support are another strength of this aircraft. Bombardier has built a global support network that ensures parts availability and technical assistance, which is further reinforced by NetJets’ in-house maintenance capabilities.
Market and Clientele
The typical NetJets Global 6000 owner or user is a high-net-worth individual or executive who values privacy, time efficiency, and global reach. Corporations also make significant use of the aircraft for executive transport, often utilizing the fractional model to balance cost and availability.
For clients who require global mobility but do not want the full burden of aircraft ownership, NetJets offers a compelling alternative. Fractional shares in a Global 6000 start with a minimum commitment of 50 flight hours per year, with flexible contracts tailored to client needs.
Conclusion
The Bombardier Global 6000, as operated by NetJets, represents a refined balance of luxury, speed, and range. It is more than just a mode of transport—it is a productivity tool, a sanctuary at 50,000 feet, and a symbol of modern executive travel. Whether for business or leisure, the Global 6000 offers an unparalleled experience for those who expect nothing less than the best in private aviation.
