Starwood Scale Models >> Company >> About Us

This is my second UH-1C Huey turbine helicopter which I built and flew in mid 2004, taken at the Bayside R/C Club in Fremont, California which is my local flying field and the site for many, exciting Circumgyration scale events over the years.

My passion for large scale helicopters started with the AH-1F Cobra fuselage in 1999, but once the Huey became available I knew I wanted to start a business in large scale helicopters. It took another two years before I saw the first Jakadofsky R model turbine, this was the perfect engine for our larger scale models and the rest is history. Over time, I have continued to search for products which I have used myself and could recommend to other modelers with confidence. In the last few years, I have started manufacturing my own products which has reinforced my business and promotes a cooperative relationship among several mainstream model manufacturers.

Model helicopters bring together individuals from all walks of life who share a common interest for scale helicopter models. Starwood Scale Models has been grown over time from what I originally started as one modeler's passion in building highly detailed model helicopters that were as close as possible to their full size counterparts. Even within scale helicopters there are many levels that modelers can enjoy depending on their building skills, available time for their hobby, size of the model, and the amount of detail that they want to add to the model.

Our intention is simple, build a company that specializes in scale helicopters. Whether you are looking for a new project to get started or a new accessory to add to one of your helicopters, Starwood Scale Models has the experience and drive to provide you with the right equipment or get you pointed in the right direction.
