As its almost impossible for us to list real models covering all this type of aircraft we are offering to make as a scale replica model of what you see in the first image above and in the dimensions shown in the listing.

To give you confidence in what you will receive there follows below an image of a similar type of model to the one advertised that we have made before which shows you the detail and quality of finish that we achieve. 

"You never really own a PlaneArts - you merely look after it for the next generation"

The dimensions of the model we will make of the aircraft depicted in the image at the top of this page (first image in the thumbnail section) will be as follows: 

WINGSPAN: 16.40 INCHES (41.60 CM), LENGTH: 12.50 INCHES (31.60 CM), SCALE: 1:24 (1/24)

eBay does not allow us to offer variations of size or scale in one listing but if you would like to see an example of the next smaller size or scale model you can do so by clicking on the link below. 

Other sizes and scales apart from the two above (or other model types) available upon request - just message us for more info.

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 image of the real aircraft and not the example we show below of a similar model we have made before. In terms of detailing (doors, windows, lights, control surface markings, antennas etc.) and livery or markings will follow the real aircraft image 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. 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.

Rockwell Commander 112B: American Four-Seat Light Aircraft Design, Comfort, and General Aviation Role

The Rockwell Commander 112B is a light, four-seat, single-engine aircraft developed for general aviation use, particularly aimed at private owners and personal transportation. It belongs to the Commander 112 family, which was designed with a strong focus on comfort, stability, and modern styling compared to many earlier utility-focused light aircraft.

One of its most recognizable characteristics is its low-wing configuration combined with tricycle landing gear. This layout provides easier ground handling, improved pilot visibility during taxiing, and a more car-like feel during takeoff and landing operations. The aircraft was also designed with a spacious cabin, emphasizing comfort for both pilot and passengers, which set it apart from more utilitarian competitors of its time.

• Low-wing monoplane structure for stable flight behavior
• Tricycle landing gear for easier ground operations
• Spacious four-seat cabin for personal or business use

Development Background

The Commander 112 series was developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s during a period of growing demand for comfortable personal aircraft in the United States. Rockwell International sought to enter the general aviation market with a design that would compete directly with established manufacturers by offering a more refined flying experience.

The 112B emerged as part of the evolutionary improvements to the original Commander 112 model. Engineers focused on addressing early feedback from operators and improving both flight handling and cabin usability. The aircraft was intended to appeal to private owners who valued comfort and modern design features as much as operational practicality.

Cockpit and Interior Experience

The cockpit of the Rockwell Commander 112B was designed with pilot comfort and ease of use in mind. The instrument layout was organized to reduce workload and improve situational awareness, particularly during cross-country flights. Large cockpit windows provided excellent visibility, which contributed to safer and more relaxed flight operations.

The cabin itself was one of the aircraft’s strongest selling points. It featured a wider fuselage compared to many competitors in its class, allowing for more comfortable seating arrangements. Interior finishing was also improved in the 112B, with attention given to materials and passenger experience.

• Wide cabin design for increased comfort
• Large windows for visibility and natural light
• Focus on reduced fatigue during longer flights

Operational Role and Use

The Rockwell Commander 112B was primarily used in general aviation roles, especially among private owners and small business operators. It was well-suited for personal transportation, short regional travel, and recreational flying.

Its stable handling characteristics made it appealing to less experienced private pilots transitioning from training aircraft. At the same time, its comfort-oriented design attracted more experienced pilots looking for a relaxed and refined flying experience.

• Personal and family travel
• Business transport between regional airports
• Flight training transition aircraft for private pilots

Handling and Flight Characteristics

The aircraft was known for its stable and predictable handling. Its design emphasized smooth control response rather than aggressive performance, making it approachable for a wide range of pilots. The low-wing configuration contributed to stable cruising behavior, while the tricycle gear simplified ground operations.

Conclusion

The Rockwell Commander 112B represents an important step in the evolution of light personal aircraft, combining comfort, stability, and modern design principles. With its spacious cabin, stable handling, and pilot-friendly layout, it was aimed at private aviation users seeking a more refined flying experience. Although it faced strong competition in the general aviation market, it remains a respected aircraft known for its thoughtful design and contribution to the development of comfortable single-engine aircraft.
