This video was made for MTS Aviation Models and Isaiah Jones. Isaiah's shop will host the Wayne Moyer collection sale on Oct 13 as part of our upcoming 1/43 weekend. Isaiah and a group of his clients toured the factory in Hastings recently and got a first-hand look at how a white metal airplane model is made. It is very similar to how Brooklin models are made. Take a look!

John K, thanks for sharing the video. Since I have a small collection of diecast airplanes (about 20), I probably have more interest in this than others 1/43 scale car collectors. Some day I hope to see MTS Aviation Model store.

In addition to seeing how these were made, I learned a different pronunciation for decals… deckles (like freckles).

We are even more deep here in the US, so we add an extra syllable to everythiang. So it's deeeagals.
