October 18, 201015 yr Hello everyone, As a proud sponsor of Baseops.net, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jim Gilmore. I'm the owner of www.AimHigherJets.com. For the past three years I've built the store from scratch with the goal to turn it into my full time job in the near future. We aren't the typical hobby store. We carry hundreds of military diecast airplanes. But our niche is that we produce extremely high quality customized mahogany models. These aren't your typical mahogany models that you might find at the BX or from overseas. Our models are extremely detailed with custom tail flashes, tail numbers, pitot tubes, windshield wipers and antennas where appropriate. Through our Custom Express program, we can even build and deliver a completely customized T-6, T-1, T-38, C-17, KC-135 or F-16 in just three weeks. But we can also do a custom of any prop, jet or helicopter. Our model quality, speed and customer service is something no one can match. We've already made models for hundreds of UPT graduates, pilots, loads and engineers. We've also done orders for major industry as well. As part of growing my business, I'd love to sponsor a UPT class and make sure that they have the opportunity to get their own customized T-6, T-1 or T-38. Every model can have their own individualized tail number and I'll also throw in their class patch on the stand for free. I'll work with each class to make sure that their models are perfect. Because I know that once you see my models, you'll never buy from anyone else. As an added incentive, I'll also donate $250 to the first class to order 14 or more Custom Express models from my store. I'll give $100 to every subsequent class. I can also put together packages for squadron orders as well. I look forward to going above and beyond to make you all satisfied customers of my store. Thank you, Jim Gilmore Owner AimHigherJets.com Edited October 18, 201015 yr by aimhigherjets.com
October 18, 201015 yr Author Why no custom C-130s? Hey GearPig, We have done a few Custom 130s already. I haven't added it to the Custom Express line yet though. Each model that we add to the Custom Express line requires quite a bit of investment so that they can be painted with the tail flash, name, tail number, etc and then delivered in just 3 weeks. With so many C-130 variations (mainly the E,H,J plus the stretch), its been hard to determine a single variant to select. If you and your squadron are interested though, I can definitely offer the pricing of a Custom Express model if you can get a group order of 10 or more together. I'm attaching photos of our most recent C-130 Custom. It's a USMC J model. -Jim
October 18, 201015 yr Author Why no MQ-1B? We do sell a pre-built MQ-1. MQ-1 Model We can also do a custom one for you and your squadron. I can give you pretty big discounts as long as I get a bulk order for 10 or more. I've attached a photo of some custom UAV work (MQ-9) we've been a part of in the past.
October 18, 201015 yr How about an E-8C with ALL the antennas modeled? That would be impressive. On a more serious matter, nice looking models, and good luck with your desire to sponsor UPT classes.
October 19, 201015 yr Those look amazing. I wish we had a sponsor like this, instead of Chico's Bail Bonds or whatever we had. The dude admitted he only sponsored us to have use of the base gym. Nice!
October 19, 201015 yr Author My desk does need a model. Something like this will work: Wow! I don't think my wife would let me be in THAT kind of desktop model business! As for an E-8, we haven't done one yet. But we can do any Custom model with any antennas or other details you want. We recently did a fully Customized KC-135 R/T. While it was slightly more than the standard Custom Express model (because of the wing refueling pods and receiver markings), I think you will like the results. Custom Models...ANY Model, ANY Details. Edited October 19, 201015 yr by aimhigherjets.com
October 19, 201015 yr Any models of RC-135V's before they got reengined and KC-135A's in their early 90's Shamu scheme.
October 19, 201015 yr Author Any models of RC-135V's before they got reengined and KC-135A's in their early 90's Shamu scheme. Ok, so we haven't done EVERY model yet. But we can do ANY custom aircraft or helo, the only limit is your imagination. So if you want a KC-135A in Shamu colors, it can be done in any scale up to 17" all for the same standard Custom Rate. Although, I don't think you'll win many friends with a Shamu -135 one on your desk. Here's some of the other Custom and Custom Express Models that we have already done.

October 20, 201015 yr Do y'all do sticks? The one company I know for sticks takes forever and occasionally botches an order.
October 20, 201015 yr These are extremely good looking models, very nice! Edited October 20, 201015 yr by xaarman
October 20, 201015 yr the model looks quite nice... ...and the airplanes aren't bad either Is there any chance you could get a close-up of the B-52H? I'm interested in purchasing one, but I'd like to see how much detail you have on them.
October 20, 201015 yr Author Do y'all do sticks? The one company I know for sticks takes forever and occasionally botches an order. Duke, We can do sticks. Our sticks that we offer have a metal stick. We also put the base specific tail on them. We can even put the name on the canopy rail. They are a few more dollars than some of our competitors but you will notice the difference in quality and we'll produce them on-time. Let me know how I can help.

October 22, 201015 yr These guys rock! I had a custom F-100 model made for my dad. They replicated everything based on photos I provided. Epic quality. You won't regret it.
October 23, 201015 yr Can you do an MQ-1B w/ a Thunderbird paint scheme? "I don't care who you are, that's funny, right there..."
November 9, 201015 yr Author Just wanted to post our latest C-17 from the Mississippi ANG, tail 03-3113 with the Purple Heart over the door. Customized and delivered in just 3 weeks! Get a Custom Express Model for Christmas! -Jim www.aimhigherjets.com
