Lintoy planes were sold by Corgi Toys, Bachmann Mini-Planes and Ertl from the early 70s into the 80s. After that, Road Champs took over the molds for its "Flyers" series.
The best quality were early Hong Kong production. 80s Singapore-made planes were not assembled as well. And the final Flyers series was very cheap.
Some early castings had private planes and business jets with moving plastic flaps, but this appears to have been discontinued. Also, many odd schemes exist such as an Air France L-1011 and South African 707.A

Lintoy was a Hong Kong-based toy brand that produced die-cast vehicles and airplanes in the 1970s and 1980s. The company was owned by David Lin and became known for its military and commercial aircraft models, including editions featuring airlines like Braniff International and American Airlines.
Lintoy also manufactured die-cast cars and toy tool sets, and in 1979-1980, it collaborated with Meccano Ltd. to produce three models of Dinky Toys. The brand was distributed globally, with Ertl and Bachmann Industries handling its presence in the United States, where it was sometimes marketed as Bachmann/Lintoy.
