Die-cast is a term for a manufacturing process whereby molten metal — usually zinc or aluminum — is injected into steel molds. The parts that come out of these molds — the car bodies, doors, hoods, trunks, chassis, etc. — are used in the assembly process.

The term die-cast was originally used to differentiate scale model material, as in die-cast metal models vs. plastic models. But the term has become generic and many times just the word die-cast is used to describe the type of model.

“Scale” refers to the size of the model in relation to the actual car. For example, if the scale is listed as 1:64, then the model is 64 times smaller than the original car. Common scales are: 1/64, 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 Scaling initially became popularized mostly due to the model train hobby.

There are many types of models and model kits available at all levels, from entry level pricing to very costly rare-find models. Due to several factors, including the number of parts, the functionality, the detailing, the quality of the paint finish, edition limits and the attention to scale are some of the reasons that our models — which we believe to be the best — command a higher price.
