Herpa Wings 1/500 scale models are made of die-cast metal and now mostly feature scale wheels. Their small size makes them popular with collectors seeking a comprehensive coverage of the world's airlines and airliners, both modern and historical.
 |
New models are issued by Herpa WIngs in 1/500 scale every month whilst sold out models are deleted from the range leading to a healthy secondhand market and values of some rare Herpas have reached many times their issue price among collectors. Herpa Wings is the number one choice for collectors of die-cast model aircraft in 1/500 scale but don't overlook the other excellent models available in 1/500 scale by StarJets, Net Models and Big Bird. |
