Collection: 1:500 Scale Diecast Airplane Models

The 1:500 scale is a cornerstone of aviation collecting, pioneered and perfected by Herpa Wings. Known for its unmatched variety, this scale allows collectors to build massive airport dioramas in a relatively small space. While the models are compact, they maintain high fidelity, featuring detailed liveries and accurate airframes. Our inventory is dominated by Herpa 1:500, the industry leader offering everything from vintage propeller planes to the latest Airbus A350-1000. We also stock Hogan Wings 1:500, which is highly regarded for its crisp molds and snap-fit convenience, alongside rare releases from AeroClassics, Aether, and SKY500. For those focused on historical accuracy, our selection includes classic Boeing 747 and DC-10 units that are now difficult to find. Whether you are a fan of European carriers, Asian airlines, or rare cargo liveries, the 1/500 scale provides a unique opportunity to own a piece of aviation history. These diecast and high-quality plastic models are the preferred choice for collectors who value 'fleet building' and realistic ground support setups. From the Herpa New Generation (NG) molds to the original classics, our 1:500 range is curated for the dedicated fleet manager.
