Are you talking about a real-world model - like you made an aircraft model from a photo of an aircraft? In that case it's a physical object and patent rules should apply, or design rules, and NOT copyright rules.

If, however, you're referring to a model like most people here are - computer science, otherwise known as maths - then equally copyright should NOT apply, because it's maths. Or "sweat of the brow". Or a whole other bunch of doctrines that lawyers do their best to mis-understand but that state quite clearly it is not copyrightable material.

Cheers,
Wol
