Updating each individual record takes time, and instead of waiting years until every record was available, we decided to make what was ready now available to our members.\u00a0 There&#8217;s some pretty well-known models already included, as well as some less known gems you might learn something about!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"collections.modelaircraft.org\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4490 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/05\/DigitalCollections-website-button.jpg\" alt=\"Orange button linking to the Museums Digital Collections site.\" width=\"800\" height=\"38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/05\/DigitalCollections-website-button.jpg 800w, https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/05\/DigitalCollections-website-button-300x14.jpg 300w, https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/05\/DigitalCollections-website-button-768x36.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>This wouldn\u2019t have been possible without the support of museum patrons and AMA members.
