Diecast model cars.

Fully built scale model cars made of die cast metal are very popular among collectors. These models are manufactured in various scales and the most popular types that are avaiable in our country such as the 1:18, 1:24, 1:43 and even 1:64 scale models.




Larger-scale models today are generally made with attention to details which replicate a real model, such as a working steering, doors, trunk, and engine hood that can be open. The larger version models also comes with detailed engine complete with things such as an exhaust system and/or other items that contained in a typical car engine. But then, common sense, the more detail the model is to the real thing, the more pricey it can get.

In smaller scales some of the details are often eliminated. So, e.g. in 1:32, 1:48, 1:43 or 1:64 scale cars, the steering and wheels generally do not work. Likewise, only the front doors and hood might be functional, with non-opening rear doors and trunk. (There are exceptions to this, of course.)
