Diecast Cars

What is a diecast car?
A diecast car is a metal model of a real vehicle, made using a casting process where molten metal is poured into a mold to form the car body. Most diecast cars also include plastic and rubber parts for details like interiors, wheels and lights.

Is diecast better than plastic?
Diecast and plastic models each have their place in a collection. Diecast cars are ready to display and built to last, with weight and finish that feel solid in your hands. Plastic kits are built from parts and give you more freedom to paint and customise the model as you build.

What are the most common scales for diecast cars?
The most popular diecast car scales are 1:64, 1:43, 1:24 and 1:18. A 1:64 car fits easily in the palm of your hand, while a 1:18 car is large enough to show fine interior and engine detail. Collectors often pick a favourite scale and build their display around it.
