Most Popular Model Car Scales And Sizes Explained!

Model cars come in all scales and sizes across an enormous price range. Anywhere from 1:64 scale HotWheels that cost about 1€ at the low end to highly detailed 1:18 models at the top end that cost hundreds of Euros.
Of course, sky is the limit here and prices and scales can go well beyond that.
But in this video I'll only focus on the most ubiquitous of scales: 1:18, 1:24, 1:32, 1:43, 1:64 & 1:87
About me:
I absolutely love cars and I dream of owning a dozen high-end makes some day. But as I'm not quite there yet, the next best thing I could do in order to satiate my desire was to start a model car collection.
I've been at it for over a year now and while that's not nearly enough for me to consider myself an expert, I have learned a thing or two and am looking to share it with others who're considering building their own collections.

Great comparison between scales...I will remiane a 1/43 scale collector due to the perfect balance between size and details amount, but this clip is very helpful for many collectors 😁👍

1:43 is definitely a smart choice, unless you have infinite space and funds! For example, I wanted to have every generation of inconic cars like the S-Class, VW Golf, 911 and so on, but 1:18 scale would've cost a fortune, so I went with 1:43 instead!

@@GKBehindTheWheel This applied to me as well, but it my case, I wanted to have every Lamborghini model, as a start. 200 models later I am near at the half of the list and the space is starting to be a problem even at 1/43 scale 😅😅

@@AtTonisGarage Damn, 200 models? That's insane! At the end of last year I had around 140x 1:43 and 15x 1:18. I'll have to severely restrict purchases this year or I'll have to give up my bed 😂

1:43 is an excellent scale for collectors - they are definitely not toys, and most say so on the boxes. It is also about right for older stuff like Corgi and Dinky toys - at least from the 1950s and 1960s - which can be restored or Code3 converted. I have quite a few of the latter and plenty of the collector cars, though ALL of mine are British and from between 1948 and 1988: you have to draw a line somewhere!

I don't have a lot of space so I collect 1/43 scale. Small enough for people with limited space but very good detail for the small size. I also have a few 1/18th scale model. I have 20 of them, but only 4 are one display because of limited space.

Great video there. Not sure if model railways interest you but O scale is also 1/43 scale so these could be used on a model railway as scenic items in towns or depots etc.

I personally think that 1:24-1:20 is the sweet spot for me: while there are a lot of mid-low quality manufacturers in that scale, there are still quite a lot of great manufacturers that still have a great eye for quality. For sure EBBRO, Fujimi, Tamiya, Danbury Mint and Franklin Mint spring to mind :)

What brands would be considered low quality in this scale? While I'm familiar with model sizes, I'm not very familiar with the brands.

Is there a huge difference between 1/64 & 1/76?

@GKBehindTheWheel Жыл бұрын

I'd say it's pretty noticeable. 1:64 are like 7cm long. 1:76 are closer to 4cm. Obviously depends on how big the car is in real life.

There's a few models I'm interested in buying but 1/18 are too expensive nowadays. Do 1/24 models are really considered "low quality" or low detail? It's kind of surprising to me since those are the biggest size after 1/18.

@GKBehindTheWheel 3 ай бұрын

I'd say 1:24 are generally low-detail than low-quality. Now, you can also get 1:18 from mainstream brands like Bburago, which combine some of the attention to detail of collector grade models with the durability of mainstream 1:24 models

@old_dan 3 ай бұрын

@@GKBehindTheWheel Thanks for clarifying. I've been acquiring the models I really wanted in 1/18 since I can't find them in 1/24 and the models on that size don't look that great. But man, people are asking so much for these things, lol. I haven't checked in years and seeing the prices nowadays took me by surprise. I remember when the Autoart Mazda 787B was $115. Now they're at $700.

The mini Gt won't get rare with it being 3D printed! They will always have the cad design on file to recreate the moulds for die cast! I have a pink resin Honda NSX 3D printed master of mini gt they use game files and some real scans giving the detail its impressive
