Let's talk about collecting scale car models

Collecting large-scale car models is a hobby-collecting models of real-life or existing cars, close to car modeling.

The most common is the scale of 1:43, the scales of 1: 8, 1:12, 1:18, 1:24, 1:25, 1:35, 1:64, 1:72, 1:87, 1: 120 are also used. , the last three came from aircraft and railway modeling.

As a further development and spread of the practice of aircraft and ship modeling, prefabricated cars emerged that need to be independently assembled from parts with adhesive, screwing, painting, and so on. Collectible cars are mainly metal but among them there are plastic, resin and others.

Large-scale models of cars of both industrial production, and small-scale and single manual ones, including converted from factory ones, are collected.

Models, as a rule, reproduce not only the appearance of cars, but also a fairly high detail of the cabin. A feature of a number of manufacturers is the presence of moving parts in the model - opening doors, hood, trunk, and so on.
