Diecast Car Reviews by our customers
Diecast Car Reviews by our customers
What is a Diecast Car?
These cars are miniature models manufactured by using the die-casting method which usually uses a mix of zinc and aluminum. This is alloy is called Zamak which is an excellent metal to work with on smaller scales such as 1/18 and 1/43. Some confuse these model cars with model kits, the main difference between our model cars and model kits is that our models come fully assembled out of the box.
Diecast cars are also known for their exceptional level of detail which can range from interior details to working doors, wheels, and engine parts. Most diecast cars come with a variety of accessories including stands, figures, and other display items. These miniature cars are the perfect addition to any collection and can be used to create unique and interesting displays.
Diecast cars are both a great source of entertainment and a way to learn about the history and features of real-life cars. Collecting model cars is a great way to not only build a bond with your favorite cars but also help the collector appreciate the beauty and history of each car.
What’s the size of scale 1:18 diecast cars?
Most miniature model cars in 1:18 scale are typically around 11 inches and 5 inches in length and width, respectively. However, because they are based on real-life vehicles, the size of each model can vary.
New Diecast Models from AUTOart:
Does Diecast metal rust?
In normal circumstances, this metal combination does not rust. But if pushed to the extreme such as being soaked in water for months, rust can show up. We don’t recommend washing your car in water; instead, just use a damp cloth when you clean your 1/18 cars.
How many parts are used for a typical 1/18 car?
This varies from car to car as well as the different details made by the diecast car manufacturer. Normally mid to high-end 1/18 cars use between 150 to 400 parts while the top model cars can use well over 1,000 parts.
Normally models by high-end brands like CMC and Exoto use over 1,000 parts often using a good variety of materials such as copper, metal, and leather. AUTOart and Almost Real are considered mid to high-end and might offer the best details for your money, it’s one of the reasons they have gained popularity with diecast collectors.
The complexity of the parts used is dependent on the model and manufacturer. Most of these parts are made from alloy, so it is important to ensure the model is kept in good condition to prevent corrosion.
Do collectible model cars increase in value?
Often scale 1/18 models can increase in value sometime after production has stopped. This varies highly depending on the demand for the specific model as well as the production numbers by the car model manufacturer. We at MyDiecastCars don’t recommend buying models as speculative assets, but instead, enjoy them for what they are.
Collectible model cars can be a great way to experience the culture of vehicle history and appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into each diecast model. It is also a great way to appreciate the art of model cars, as many of the parts are handpainted and detailed. Collecting these cars can be a fun hobby for people of all ages, and for those who want to invest in a model car, it is important to do your research and understand the market before making any decisions.
