Welcome to T&J Models


We are dedicated to promoting the building aspect of our hobby by producing a line of plans and short kits of historic and unique aircraft. We pride ourselves on our innovative designs and the quality of our kits.


"A model built flys better than a model bought." -  Jim Young

Kit Features


Our short kits feature laser cut balsa and aircraft grade plywood, vacuum formed parts, full size plans, and illustrated construction manuals. You provide the sheet balsa, hardware, and a few odds and ends.


1/12 Scale Waco YMF-5


This 30" span scale version of this beautiful golden age biplane features traditional balsa and plywood construction. The airframe structure is as close to scale as we can get it with the proper rib and stringer spacing. Full four channel control makes it a nice performer. Power comes from a geared AstroFlight 010 and a 3 cell 1320 LiPo pack. Flight times in excess of 20 minutes are the norm while you tool around the sky.

de Havilland D.H.-88 Comet


This kit is of the famous long distance racer, the de Havilland D.H.-88 Comet. This 50" span model features traditional built up construction.  The scale outline of the original has been maintained. Enlarged wing tips and washout give this thoroughbred racer gentle flight characteristics.


Hughes H-1 Racer 



This 1/12 scale model of Howard Hughes H-1 Racer features a built up fuselage and foam core wing. It is well suited for a variety of brushless motors and 3S LiPo power. Originally featured in the August, 2006 issue of Model Aviation magazine, we can now offer a complete short kit.
