Thanks for looking...based on my limited research....these were hand-made in the Philippines(?). These are nice

These are made in The Philippines and there are many different models. I remember visiting a shop full of them in France with my dad while on holiday 20 years ago; he bought a gorgeous B-25 for a friend and ever since regretted not getting one for himself too.

Yep, made in the Philippines. I think typically they are made out of mahogany.

 

You can find them online, either painted or unpainted. You can even special order aircraft as I recall, or request specific markings.

 

The kicker is these are not cheap. Plan on $200 or more for a painted one.

Amazon has these as well:

Wow...I figured they were expensive but not that high. I like the B36 because of the design and oddity. My sisters-in-law recalls them flying over her home when she was young. I’m amazed they flew. I’m going to sell them especially the B52 and F86...if any interest...pls feel free to contact me.
