Since its beginnings in 1998 with Dragon Wings and GeminiJets, 1:400 scale has become the most popular scale of die-cast airplane models. Main brands in this scale include Aeroclassics, Phoenix Models, Panda Model, and JC Wings. This scale also enjoys the presence of new innovative brands such as Patriot Model. 1:400 is The One Perfect Scale, as it yields models that are small enough to allow for a large, affordable collection while also offering a high level of detail.
