Scale 600

[NichLikesPlanes]

Anyone here collects or own 1:600 planes? (Schuco, Schabak, Herpa, Silver Wings). You can talk about 1:600 scale here.

I currently own 44 Schabak models, I bought one off eBay and 43 off a japanese auction site.

Edit: Are there any other scale 600 chats that are currently active?

Your spreadsheet is inaccessible, could you change the sharing permission so that anyone with the link can edit/suggest edits?

And if you like, you can take pictures of your models and add them to the database.

I do collect 1:600, I think I have around 80/90. You got a nice collection...
If you want to see part of my collection I got some posts on my airport project

I like collecting 1:600, though I don't have that many in my collection.

You could get some on eBay thought they are quite expensive. Hope you get more models though

I got most of my models off of eBay. I would be completely lost without it

I know this thread is kinda dead but anyone knows where to get Schabak models without eBay?

Gate 72 occasionally have some very nice Schabak aircraft. Etsy also has some but is very similar to eBay.

Never heard of this store before. Very cool. I'm sure the owner likely is a regular through the collectibles show circuit in the U.S.

Does anyone actually know what happened to the Schabak factory after they went bankrupt? Where’s all the stuff

I don't have a clue. I'm guessing Schuco sold the rest of the stuff left.

It depends what iteration of Schabak you are talking about. All of your Schabaks are the first generation, which ended in 2006. For the history of them see my site here:

The History of Schabak 1:600 Scale Airplane Models

The history of 1:600 scale die-cast model aircraft making by Schabak.

I've also been meaning to do more on the moulds but haven't got that far yet. Check out here: https://www.yesterdaysairlines.com/schabak-moulds.html

After 2006 Schabak was reborn as Schuco Schabaks with printed models and then there was a third generation with new moulds that lasted I think until 2017.

I’m talking about the first gen Schabak. By the way, I love your page on Schabak, I read it more than four times lol, also love your moulds and Imogenia

Thanks. Well most of the moulds went from Germany to China and where used for the Schuco Schabaks, but then there was an issue and everything was lost. The details were unclear to say the least!
