model airplanes
Scaled-down flying replicas
Model airplanes are miniature replicas of aircraft, built for display, competition, or recreation.
Some are static scale models assembled from kits; others are functional craft that actually fly—powered by rubber bands, small engines, or electric motors and controlled remotely or by free flight.
Building model airplanes is a classic hobby: He spent weekends in the garage working on his model airplanes.
