More about AeroMini: Robert Metchick began producing toy airliners in the mid-1960s with the first, a Boeing 707, appearing in 1969. Aero Minis, Inc. was incorporated in New York in 1968 and headed by Robert Metchick; the name was changed to Aero Mini Inc. in 1969 and the firm based in Farmingdale, NY. Aero Mini models were all produced in Japan through 1974 at which point production was moved to Wyoming, New York. American production was not successful and the company entered bankruptcy and ceased operations in early 1976. The line of quality die-cast models has gained wide appeal with modern collectors. Although sold as toys, the Aero Mini models were some of the earliest model aircraft collectible models. Aero Minis are constructed of diecast zinc metal. Features include decaled logos and other detail areas over a painted fuselage, and most interestingly, retractable landing gear which is scale in appearance. Collectors who pursue Aero Minis appreciate them for their nostalgia and rarity. Today, the original Japanese-produced models are considered antiques. Furthermore, Aero Minis were considered very advanced for their time having been cast from precisely engineered moulds to 0.0005 in. and without access to all of the computer graphics and techniques available today. Factory drawings were used to ensure accuracy of the configurations. These models produced through 1976 are not to be confused with the second generation of this line. The salvaged assets of Aero Mini Inc. were purchased by Vernon Peckham, a banker, and the new company, based in Scottsdale, AZ, carries the contracted name Aeromini Inc. This company is currently manufacturing games, toys and children's vehicles. Airliners manufactured by Aeromini do not carry the cachet and collectiblility of the original Aero Mini line. This can be confusing when confronted with listings. Although precise in configuration and elegantly marked, the Aero Mini models were sold thirty+ years ago to be played with as toys - not sit-on-a-shelf and look-at-only collectibles. The Aero Mini line to 1976 consisted of these types (most in many liveries): A6M5 Zero (don't forget, these were made in Japan), Boeing 707, 727, 737, 747, C-135, Douglas DC-8, DC-9, Lockheed F-104J, McDonnell F-4E Phantom, and a Super VC-10.
