I will be adding to this list from time to time as my research progresses, so this page is always under construction.
Please let me know of any I have might have missed, particularly from European and Japanese films of which I know very little about and would like to know a great deal more.
Clicking on any link will take you to the page for that title. No link means I haven't done that title yet.
Some of the links will take you to a modelshipsinthecinema page where I have already covered that particular title which had model ship sequences in it and also featured a model aircraft as well.

You might want to look into Wes Anderson's 'The French Dispatch' from 2021. there is some model work depicting a twelve engined air freighter, but I'm not sure if there is an in flight depiction.
ReplyDeleteYes I have seen Berton Pierce's short making of film which includes the Aircraft models on youtube so it is certainly on my radar. Thanks for taking the trouble to comment.
