Brand/Importer Information: The story of Diecast Masters began 30 years ago when a young Australian named John McNickle approached Mr. Yu-Lee Fung of Hong Kong to build some diecast scale models. Having established his business in 1978, Mr. Fung was ready, willing and able to take on the project. He delivered splendid models on time and on budget for Mr. McNickle’s customer. And so began a bond between the two men that lasted until Mr. Fung passed away in 2014.
