Hi, Deb. Please tell your friend to contact the Museum Store Association in
Cherry Creek, Colorado. They might be able to help him contact aviation
museums with retail outlets. He might consider attending their annual
meeting to get a feel for the market.
Sincerely,
Robin Le Van

Hi all!

A friend of mine owns a model airplane company that manufactures and
distributes a wide variety of model airplanes from balsa models to big
radio-controlled planes.  He is interested in making replica models of
planes in museums to be sold in the museum gift shops.  For those of you out
there in the air museum world, would there be a market for something like
this?  If so, could you pass along names of people that he could contact to
about selling his planes?  His company, Chart Hobby, is based in the UK and
has world-wide distribution.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Deb Fuller
