I was searching online for work on a subject aircraft unrelated.
I came across these, it’s a safe link I know the title is a little odd.

I would imagine they were stripped, cleaned out shells, weren’t they?

I wonder how stripped back those airframes were for the Tate modern? There are no puddles of oil, hydraulic fluid,fuel, nothing?? or did they have a guy permanently mopping round them?

Well thanks but I’ve been buying for many years and know my sources well.
No prob Charlie, just helping out some helpful diecast suppliers to get from.

Sorry – but there are many suppliers of these models and the quality is extremely good. I have a small collection and perhaps other members have large collections – they are very popular here.
Yea there pretty reliable.
I recommend these suppliers to buy diecast aircraft models from
*Hobby Master Airpower series/Airliner Series
*Corgi
*Dragon Wings Airliners/Warbirds
*Falcon Models
*Franklin Mint
*Gemini 200/250/Aces/Jets/MACS.
*Herpa Wings
*Hogan Wings
*Model Power Airliner Collection/Postage Stamp
*Unimax Forces Of Valor
*Winged Fighters
*Witty Wings Sky Guardians Series 2
*X-Plus Heavy Metal Collection
Hopefully that helped you out for buying diecast planes anytime.

Is that a serious question?
Preferably, i ask because there reliable and good. You have a diecast plane with all of the real marking based on the aircraft you like or want. There not plastic models, they are some good models made out of metal and plastic. Which is very good to have in your aviation collection of Airliners, Military Aircraft, Civil Aircraft, Warbirds Aircrafts, and many to choose from in the diecast category.
Take a look at this site called…. “The Flying Mule” and you’ll find lots of diecast based on aviation.

Hey have you guys heard of diecast models?

It’s sad thinking of the aircraft that have been scrapped after being used as a decorative item.
I can think of a Buccaneer that once adorned a bar, and a Harrier that was hung on the wall in the Trocadero, London both of which I believe were scrapped.
But if no one wants them what to do?

Even worse…..!

Very sad, given that the Jag was a Gulf veteran.
