Description
Western Models is a renowned toy brand, celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and true-to-life representation of historical machinery. The brand's offerings are primarily distinguished diecast models of vintage aircrafts and cars. These hand-built miniatures are adored by both casual and seasoned collectors, a testament to the extraordinary attention to detail that has become synonymous with the brand's creations.
Western Models traces its roots back to 1973 in the U.K., where it was founded by craftsman Mike Stephens. Initially, the company produced white metal kits of American cars, but it didn't take long for Western Models to expand their portfolio to include miniature models of numerous car types, captivating the hearts of motoring enthusiasts worldwide. Mike Stephens was a pioneer in creating white metal model cars, unique because it was one of the first brands to introduce photo-etched parts, real wire wheels, and soft rubber tires. The turning point in its history was the introduction of aircraft models in the 198s.
