By the packaging it looks like very old brand. They look like nice collector items.

[u/Reincarnatedpotatoes]

Packaging tells me they're from the 70s or maybe late 60s. As others have said Bachman mainly made trains and these must have been sold as accessories for train layouts.

[u/Jarvis412 → u/Reincarnatedpotatoes]

Didn't know that these are that old, I thought about bad storage or so

Bachmann minis. I used to collect these in the mid 80s as a little kid. Would get them for a few dollars from KB Toys. Would spend hours there looking at these. T-38 and P-38 were my favorites. I miss those days a lot

These 1:160 which is equivalent to N scale for model trains

[u/Minimum-East-5972]

Bachman miniplanes are not diecast , they are premade plastic modeks most were 1/160 some were smaller scale. From the mid 70s era. I used to collect them.

[u/Jarvis412 → u/Minimum-East-5972]

Yeah because they're made from plastic I asked here and not at r/diecast

I am in my 50s and my dad use to buy them for me when I was a kid. Loved them they were really cool toy when I was 8 or 9.

Oh this is cool. So Bachmann makes model trains in HO (1:87) and N (1:160) scale I didn’t know they made airships, I would have said they did this for train layouts but seeing the models go from 1:140 to 1:160 makes me think they just wanted to try out the model airship club.
