      Excuse me...
      The person who is featured in the video who owns a Model Aircraft collection in Panama... Is it public? What's the name? I would love to visit it when I'm there next year...
      How can I get in touch with that person?

    70 years ago (as a child) I would stop in front of the windows of aviation offices (KLM, SABENA, PanAm, AirFrance...) and stare for hours at such large models with a glass fuselage and visible passenger seats. Today, thanks to you, this memory came back to me

    This is just up my alley!! As an avid av-geek, I just love how well detailed these models are. This is what really brings that price up on many of them that are of larger sizes. It must be fun to create these masterpieces, and depict the exact airplane you see at the airport or in flight.

      Dear friend, unfortunately, Gemini Jets has hardly developed at a scale of 1:400, releasing identical models with old forms from the early 2000s, and it pains me to see how ugly the painting technology is here, I sincerely feel sorry for these workers, it upsets me that Gemini Jets bosses sell "backward" models by so at a low price and they are definitely profiting from this, there is a manufacturer NG model, which has models of much better quality, with modern painting technology, and with more realistic shapes, with a much greater variety of liveries and it's all at the same price, my opinion is Gemini Jets and its subsidiary JC wings got greedy, and with This must be fought! I have expressed my opinion, it will be interesting to hear your comments on this

    I still have my old airliner models and a plushie of a 747 from when I was a kid. These diecast jets have really really evolved into something amazing. I'm more of a military aviation collector but even there the details from missile markings, ejection handles, cockpits are insanely detailed nowadays. I see the future of these models would have parts of it actually light up with a magnetic charger as a display pad.

    That was amazing Sam. Now I know why they cost so much - a lot of work to make a nice one, manual work as well as machining. I have a few favorites that I actually flew on .I imagine a lot of collectors start that way.

    I have an old Mexicana A319 Model from the late 90’s. Only model I own. It’s beautiful, I take a lot of care of it, it sits on a little stand by a window. In front of the Mexican flag. I love my little plane, when I bought it was very oily, and covered in fingerprints, I cleaned it; bought a stand. Its amazing!

    I had a collection that I really loved! It was just around 70 1:200 diecast models with an emphasis on Northwest Orient Airlines as my father was a mechanic with them. All the others were planes and airlines that I had actually flown on. Well, to make a long story relatively short, we had a wildfire here on the Oregon Coast in early September of 2021. We lost everything, including my diecast models that turned into little shiny puddles of molten metal. Thankfully, I've been able to replace a handful of Northwest planes, but I sure do miss the rare ones that I had been able to find over the years!

    • @Derek-hl7ry

      That sounds like me. I had a beloved collection that I lost in 2018 in the Paradise, California wildfire. It was devastating but I've been able to restart my collection and now have about 47 models in 1:200 scale. My goal is to get at least one of every type of aircraft in airline models of that scale with 100 seats or more. Wish I could afford the metal ones but I have some pretty nice plastic models from SkyMarks and others. Great videos Mr. Chui!

    Now, at 8 years old, I might be too young for the real cockpit, but with your airplane model in my hands, my imagination will take flight every day. Think of it as investing in the future of aviation, because every great pilot starts with a dream, and a model airplane to chase it. Here's to more airborne dreams and journeys together! ✈️"

I am such a model fanatic and collector who spends way too much time and money on aircraft models but to see them being produces takes the cake! Also I have one of those Cathay Pacific 747-400 models by Herpa Wings 1/200th scale dating back from the late 90s-2000s with that special green livery! I wasn’t even born yet but my excellent condition model is a relic from my parents honeymoon trip to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 in 2000 when they flew upstairs in B-HQX that 744 in First Class! What a special memory for them and an excellent model that I love! Also I loved seeing that Emirates 🇦🇪 A350 model I hope to get my hands on one soon and I hope to fly Emirates on the Inaugural A350 flight or 777X flight! I’d be fine with either as I am a huge fan of Emirates and their new fleets, however the 777/777X family still holds my favorite spot even above the A350 as beautiful as it is and no plane even the 777 can overtake the 747 for me as my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE The Queen Of The Skies!

    Wow! This documentary is awesome! New to aviation just a year in and proof that we are never too old to learn as I turn 72 in November. My love of aircraft has grown and a fascination for these beautiful flying machines. I've started my small collection about 4 months ago with my first one, the Courtlines pink TriStar G-BAAB, L-1011-1 we were fortunate to travel on back in Aug 1974 and during that family fortnight holiday to Spain when the company Courts went into liquidation, our marvelous captain pilot and crew defied orders to stay grounded in Spain; he refused, hustled us passengers onto the TriStar and took off flew us back to Luton Airport. We passengers had a whip-round for him during the flight in his captain's hat to help pay for the fuel. He was our hero. I was 22 going on 23yrs old at the time and just wish I knew his name. My pink diecast model of 'Halcyon Breeze' sits proudly on the coffee table with a small fleet of other types of aircraft now so she's no longer alone. Thank you Sam for a wonderful video. You've made an old lady very happy! Xx bless you ❤😊

    I started out collecting with 1:250, 1:200 plastic scales. Most you get from inflight airline magazines and from stores such as The Airplane Shop. Recently I got more into the die cast in 1:200 and was nice to see how they are made as in using a injection machine to pour the melted metal. I figured they were hand milled. Oh how I wish I had the budget and more like space for soo many models. Most of mine are in storage. I would love to have a large scale model in my living room as a show piece like those of Stephen Koulouthros collection, used to be in awee as a kid and still am whenever I see one at an airport or Travel agent office. It brought a smile to my face to see the Antonov model, especially being how the actual plane unfortunately met its demise.

    This is sooo cool Sam to see how the models are made and the Antonov 225 model would look really cool in my cabimet at home :)

    Sam, you get an A+ for one of the most unique videos ever on TH-cam! Nice work. Very interesting. I had no idea aviation-lovers collect airplane models.

    Thanks for featuring this, Sam. The 1/500 scale has seemingly been quite lonely the past couple of years. I have collected all the exclusive ANA, JAL, EVA, Cathay, etc. models but there has been overall less and less releases over the last couple of years. ANA and EVA, especially seem to have shunned the 1/500 scale! So many current and past liveries to produce!

    I’ve been collecting model cars for the past decade, (gosh can’t believe it’s been 11 years since I started 😮) and always felt attracted for airplanes, I might as well start getting them.

    Heaven. Never knew what went into making the models. Now I know why they’re so expensive. Wish I could get one to start a collection

      Why don't you just buy some? Btw there are also plastic snap fit models. They are not as detailed as the metal ones but cost a third or less.
