The World's Biggest Airplane Model Collection

DiecastJets.com is offering up to 25% off retail and free shipping, use code SAMCHUI at checkout!
At such a depressing time like now, with the COVID-19 pandemic in full effect, I have turned to my hobby of die cast model airplane collecting to keep my spirits up!
Earlier this month, I visited my friend Elliot at Gemini Jets HQ in Las Vegas, NV. I take a look at the entire Gemini Jets collection in 1:200 and 1:400 scale on display. These special die-cast model aircraft include a Qantas B787 100th,a Boeing 747 Dreamlifter, a Thai Royal Barge 777-300, a Lufthansa 747-8, a Emirates A380, a British Airways B747 and a KLM B747.
I also look at a model airport set up and the warehouse of Gemini Jets. The 1:200 A380 in Gemini Jets weighs 3.8 lbs, that's a lot of weight for a model airplane!
Are you a model airplane collector? If so, share with me your favourite model airplane.

Sam, thank you for your fun and energetic travel / aviation videos. I have recently discovered your work and really enjoyed watching several of your travel vlogs. This vlog on die cast jets was terrific. You asked for us to respond in the comment section with info on our favorite jet. My favorite is definitely the Pan Am 747 Clipper from 1968. My grandparents were between California and Hawaii. Therefore, each trip on the Clipper was a trip to see my grandparents in Hawaii or California. My favorite jet to collect isn't so much a jet. It's the models of the space shuttle orbiters.

[@darrellbrown2019]

I love collecting Die-cast models of different types of aircraft, I like the 1:400 size, I also have a few 1:200 size. My favorite plane is the AN-225 in 1:400 size. Thank you GEMINI JETS.

[@gsveeb]

Hey Sam. Nice video. I've been collecting Schabak 1/600 scale models since the 1980's. Love them because of the small size. I have one Gemini Jet Air Jamaica A320 model because I'm from Jamaica and used to fly on them. Also, it was the best color scheme of any airline, ever! 🙂

Hey Sam, I love how you branch off on different aspects of aviation, to even a passionate hobby about aviation. It's like a nice treat for us aviation enthusiast. Speaking of which, have you ever been or heard of Miniatur Wunderland? It's a small mini world controlled by smart chips in each vehicle, aircraft, and etc. What made them so popular, was the miniatur airport that's modeled after Hamburg. It's amazing the amount of detail they put into their projects, literally everything has it's own function and is operated by a smart computer, that move and perform various task. The miniatur wonderland even has working boats and submarines! Anyways, I'm getting off topic, but would love to see you make a video about the miniatur airport, if you ever get a chance. Keep up the great work!
