Model Car Size Guide

What is diecast scale? This is the first question most collectors ask when they start buying diecast cars. It looks confusing at first, but it’s really simple.

Diecast scale is just a measure of the model’s size compared to the real car. A 1:24 model, for example, is 24 times smaller than the actual vehicle — so the smaller the second number, the larger the model.


Scale Comparison Guide

Use this quick guide to picture how big each scale is (an average car is about 4.3 m long):

Scale Typical Length Best For
1:22 7–8 in (18–20 cm) Our largest scale — big, detailed display pieces
1:24 6–7 in (15–18 cm) The most popular collector size — great detail, easy to display
1:32 5–6 in (13–15 cm) Compact models, great for gifting and for building a collection

Measurements are approximate and vary with the actual vehicle. These are the three scales we stock — we don’t mix scales within one product, so the scale in the title is the scale you receive.

  • Want the best balance of detail, price and shelf space? 1:24 is the collector favourite, and it’s where most of our range sits.
  • Building a big collection, buying a gift, or short on space? 1:32 is ideal.
