Flybywire Aviation Art

Flybywire Aviation Art makes custom aircraft models sculpted from wire. It is based in South Africa. The business has made models for the aviation industry and for private clients for almost 20 years.

Each model is shaped by hand from wire and shown in a wall frame. There are five frame sizes, close to the standard A4, A3, A2, A1 and A0 paper sizes. A frame in a special size can be made if a customer needs one. Models can also be bought loose, without a frame.

Most models are made from copper wire. Copper comes in three finishes: natural copper, nickel and 24 carat gold plate. Models can also be made from solid sterling silver wire, solid 18 carat gold wire or solid platinum wire.

Almost any aircraft or product can be shown in this style. Companies order the models as exclusive corporate gifts or as decorative art. Models can be shipped anywhere in the world and are packed to suit the trip.

The business also offers a framing service for cast models and other 3D sculptures or items. Most items are framed with a 3D mirror layout that makes the piece easier to see. Customers can bring their own models to be framed this way. Quotes are available by phone or email.
