The PacMin Story
For more than eighty years, PacMin has quietly shaped the aerospace world, turning visionary concepts into exquisite scale models that sealed business deals, inspired innovation, dazzled on executive desks, drew crowds at trade-show booths, and became crown jewels in private collections, yet the company behind them has remained a largely hidden mystery.
How did a modest post-war model shop survive fierce competition, family drama, changing technology, and near financial collapse to become the world's premier builder of aerospace display models? Go behind the scenes with unprecedented access to PacMin's archives, workshops, and leadership to uncover its untold story.
Inside, you'll learn how these masterpieces are imagined, engineered, and handcrafted, and meet the artisans who bring them to life. Featuring hundreds of stunning, never-before-seen photographs, this book reveals the techniques, personalities, reinventions, and quiet brilliance that carried PacMin through eight remarkable decades.
If you've ever admired a PacMin model, this is the book you've been waiting for.
