✈️ Final Approach Collectibles x Legacy Jets: Crafting Aviation’s Legacy, One Model at a Time

FAC:
First off, thank you for joining us! Legacy Jets has been making serious waves in the diecast community. For those who might not know yet — who is Legacy Jets?

Legacy Jets:
Thanks for having us! Legacy Jets was born out of pure passion and a deep love for aviation and an obsession with precision and customer experience. We’re not just creating models; we’re preserving aviation history in miniature form.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: “Crafting Aviation’s Legacy, One Model at a Time.”

What truly sets us apart is that both of our founders are professional pilots. Aviation isn’t just our business — it’s our life. Every model we design comes from firsthand experience in the cockpit and an unwavering appreciation for the aircraft that shaped aviation history.

FAC:
You can really feel that passion in your work. The level of detail and finish on your models is incredible. What sets Legacy Jets apart from other brands?

Legacy Jets:
Legacy Jets stands for exclusivity, artistry, and perfection. Each release is limited to just 250 units worldwide, ensuring that collectors own something truly rare. We use cutting-edge manufacturing technology, exact PMS color matching, and state-of-the-art diecasting techniques to achieve true-to-life realism that collectors can instantly recognize.

But beyond the technical side, it’s the emotion that defines us. The nostalgia, the stories, the memories behind each aircraft — that’s what gives every model its soul. These aren’t just replicas; they’re pieces of history that belong in your hands.

Something we’re especially proud of is our direct relationship with collectors. Unlike many competitors, we love listening to the community, taking feedback, and turning ideas into action. Legacy Jets is built on collaboration — we fly together.

FAC:
That’s incredible. Limited runs, unmatched quality, and genuine passion — it’s clear you’re aiming high. What inspired you to start Legacy Jets in the first place?

Legacy Jets:
It all goes back to the flight deck. As pilots, we’ve spent countless hours in the sky — and every time, we’re reminded of the craftsmanship and beauty behind every aircraft. That feeling inspired us to bring the magic of flight into the hands of collectors.

Our vision is to bridge the gap between aviation and art — to honor the icons of the sky with models that evoke the same awe and pride we feel in the cockpit. Every Legacy Jets model carries that philosophy: built by aviators, for aviation lovers.

FAC:
Let’s talk specifics — your EL AL 747-400 and MD-11 EL AL releases got a lot of attention in the community. What goes into creating a model like that?

Legacy Jets:
Every project begins with meticulous research — archival photos, color references, engineering data, and even insights from the pilots who flew the real aircraft. From there, our design and engineering teams collaborate to perfect every contour, panel line, and landing gear angle.

We go through multiple prototype stages to ensure absolute accuracy before production even begins. Each final model is hand-finished, individually numbered, and presented in our signature Legacy display box — because a masterpiece deserves a presentation worthy of its legacy.

FAC:
Collectors love that level of craftsmanship. What’s next for Legacy Jets? Any exciting teasers you can share?

Legacy Jets:
Let’s just say 2025 will be a year to remember. We’re expanding into new airlines, rare historical liveries, and special collaborations that collectors have been dreaming of. Expect iconic aircraft, legendary paint schemes, and a few surprises that will redefine what premium diecast collecting looks like.

We’re raising the bar once again — the next lineup will truly celebrate the past, present, and future of aviation.

FAC:
Sounds like big things are on the horizon! Any final words you’d like to share with collectors and fans?

Legacy Jets:
To our incredible community — thank you. You’re the reason we do what we do. Every collector who chooses Legacy Jets isn’t just buying a model — you’re preserving a story, a piece of aviation’s soul.

We promise to keep innovating, perfecting, and delivering pieces that live up to the name Legacy. Built by pilots. Inspired by history. Designed for collectors who dream of the skies.

FAC:
That’s beautifully said. Thank you for your time — and congratulations on everything you’re building. Legacy Jets is truly redefining what it means to collect with purpose and passion.

Legacy Jets:
Thank you!  and thank you to every aviation enthusiast who shares our vision. The sky isn’t the limit… it’s where our legacy begins. We look forward to chatting with you!
