A model’s scale shows how its size compares to the real thing - for example, 1:18 scale means the model is 18 times smaller than the real vehicle.

The lower the second number, the larger the model. For example, a 1:18 scale model would be larger than a 1:32 scale model.

• 1:18 Scale - Large and highly detailed, around 10 to 12 inches long for a typical car.

• 1:24 Scale - Slightly smaller, ideal for collectors who want detail without taking up too much space.

• 1:32 Scale - Popular for farm models, military vehicles and historic cars.
