New Addition: Heat Sealing Tools

Equipment used to build model airplanes is an important part of the aeromodeling story, and one of the most under-represented areas of the museum’s collection.  AMA member 11424 helped correct this recently by donating two heat sealing irons for Monokote.

Two heat sealing tools, the top one was manufactured by the Royal company, and the bottom one is a Thunder Tiger.

Thank you for helping to grow the museum’s collection!

  1. I have one of the Thunder Tiger heal sealers exactly like the one in the photo. It looks brand new like never used. Do you have any idea what it would be worth? Thank you.

  2. Wow, I just had to dig mine out to repair plastic tracks on a beam line (a steel beam got dropped on the guard).

    My model was made by World Engines. If I could send a picture, I would. Thanks for posting.
