Most Popular Model Car Scales And Sizes Explained! 1:18 v 1:24 v 1:32 v 1:43 v 1:64 v 1:87

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.

loved to see your collection, brother.; also thanks for sharing your knowledge on the sizes of collecting cars. Keep it growing 👍

[Rbeg]

Nice collection brother. That's a big collection to amass in a year! Great stuff. I see you love skodas lol

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 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!

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 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.

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 :)

I got herpa ferraris 1:43 those are really detailed

[PieterNatrovic]

What brand makes 1:43 scale the best? You think bburago still worth to collect? Or better choose greenlight ?😊

[lilproto]

I have some kins smart. They make more of the 1:38, 1:36, 1:40 etc.

What brand are gray rs6 and silver porsche? And also red skodas?

[EMTBonsai]

Blitzway do the largest scale at 1.6 scale juat bigger than the 1.8 scale iand building at the moment! When i was younger 25 years ago i remember i had 1.16 scale diecast! They were jsut smaller than my 1.18s but i was a kid i played with these 1.16 cars and now i cannot find any new ones! My ones are beat up but there 1.16 escort RS and 205 with wide body kit

[helisoma]

there's also the more limited and usually prohibitively expensive 1:12 scale

[old_dan]

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.

[EMTBonsai]

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

[MrSpadeSoldier]

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