Frequently Asked Questions
Diecast vehicles are produced in a variety of scales, each offering a different balance of size, detail, and display impact. Some of the most popular diecast scales available from The Bradford Exchange include:
1:18 Scale - Highly detailed and larger in size, 1:18-scale diecast vehicles are favored by serious collectors who appreciate intricate engine components, interior detailing, and working features.
1:24 Scale - A popular middle ground, 1:24-scale diecast models offer impressive detail while remaining easy to display on shelves or desks.
1:43 Scale - Compact yet collectible, 1:43-scale models are ideal for showcasing larger collections without requiring much space.
Choosing the right scale for your diecast collectibles depends on whether you prioritize maximum realism and detail or space-saving display flexibility.
Proper storage and care can help preserve the beauty and value of your diecast collectibles for years of enjoyment. For best results:
Use UV-protected display cases to shield models from sunlight, which can cause paint fading over time.
Store in a stable environment with consistent temperature and humidity to prevent warping, cracking, or corrosion.
Clean gently and regularly using a soft microfiber cloth or a small, soft-bristle brush to remove dust from delicate details. Avoid harsh chemicals or water, which may damage painted surfaces or fine components.
Displaying your diecast vehicles properly not only protects them, but it also lets you enjoy them for many years to come.
While both are made using diecast metal, diecast collectible cars and diecast toy cars are designed for very different audiences.
Top-quality diecast cars are created for collectors and enthusiasts, with a strong focus on the following:
- Accurate scale proportions
- Authentic design details
- Precision engineering
- Limited-edition production
Many feature opening parts, realistic finishes, and faithful recreation of real-world vehicles.
Diecast toy cars on the other hand - often made in 1:64 scale - are built primarily for play. They often emphasize durability over realism and typically lack the fine detailing, functionality, and features collectors prize precision-engineered diecast models for.
A premium diecast vehicle stands out through its attention to detail and realistic functionality. Key features to look for include:
Opening doors, hoods, and trunks for an authentic, interactive experience
Working suspension that mirrors real vehicle movement
Detailed engine recreation visible under the hood
Realistic rubber tires with tread patterns
Fully detailed interiors, including dashboard instrumentation and seating
These elements not only enhance realism but also reflect the superior craftsmanship of a high-quality diecast model.
