About IFA

With a background in architectural model building and a passion for flight, I founded the Institute of the Flying Arts to combine creativity and craftsmanship. 
Since then, many dedicated souls have come aboard—some leaving their ideas, creativity, and energy before moving on, and others staying to continue shaping the journey. Together, we’ve grown into a crew committed to offering unique 3D-printed airplane models and exceptional support.

Accessibility is at the heart of my designs and I strive to make building these models as straightforward as possible and the try to make required screws and components as available and easy to source as possible. 

For those who may not feel confident or able to craft the specialized parts themselves, we offer prefabricated versions, meticulously made by our experienced crew. We are also proud to provide screw sets at a reasonable price to make your journey smoother.
 

Being deeply committed to sustainability, our "responsible" packaging prioritizes reusing over recycling, minimizing footprint and reflecting our dedication to protecting the planet.

Above all, we value the connection with those who build, create, and share this passion. 
 

Whether through our designs, our shop, or our FAQ and Help section, we aim to support and inspire everyone who likes to comes aboard. Please feel free to ask for help.
