Back when I was interested in model aircraft as a kid there were model

 Real model jet turbines are available for some time now - some in quite
small form factor.  I talked to one guy at a flight show who had one of

Hideously expensive, as you'd expect.
I'm amazed that there's a hobby market for them, though it could be a spin-off from the drone business.
