Does anyone know the process to make one of these?

I'm curious about the process of making the fuse / wings. Whether they are metal or plastic. What are the molds made out of? Was the original model wood, and a mold is made from that? Do they use machines? What about the decal/ paint scheme. Are they Tampo printed? Please pass on any info you might know. Links would be great for the machines they might use and the processes of making a die-cast. Thankyou.
