The easy answer is to contact them and follow-up with an invoice and a screen capture of them using your image. Since they would likely claim "Fair Use" it is not worth the legal cost and time to litigate. I have had some experience in the past of news agencies using my photos and the invoicing meth...

Jump to postAny idea where I could find the resin or vaccuform models?
I work for a small charter airline - we operate 7 King Air 200's and would love to have one on my desk in the corporate colours.
I am hoping that someone might have an idea where I can find a plastic King Air 200 model. I have found a few of the highly detailed wood models, however I am looking for a plastic model which I can paint myself.
Any ideas or recommendations?
