In this context, what is the difference between a model and a replica? Both can fly, if designed to do so. When I think of the word model, being a modeler, I think of an airplane designed to a scale smaller than full scale. If this is a non-flying-full-sized airplane, being full sized, I would think "Replica" a more accurate choice of words. Possibly calling it a non-flying replica is what I would tend to think the best description, unless there is some other aspect to the definition I am unaware of

I know we are communicating using English with friends in Poland and Germany! I understand definitions in other languages can be/are different. No disrespect is meant in what I have said here!
