Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures

Why do we find so many different brands in the same model car collection?

Collectors appreciate the diversity of brands because each car manufacturer has its own unique history and iconic models. Combining Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, or rarer brands creates a rich collection that chronicles the evolution of the automobile across decades and continents.

What is the difference between 1/43 and 1/64 scales in model cars?

The 1/43 scale produces models approximately 10-12 cm long, offering more detail and often opening doors. The 1/64 scale (like Hot Wheels) produces cars measuring 6-7 cm, which are more compact and economical. The choice depends on the collection space and available budget.

Why do some model cars from different brands have the same manufacturer's reference?

Major manufacturers such as Bburago, Maisto, and Kyosho produce models for multiple car brands under their own series. For example, Bburago manufactures everything from Ferraris to Mercedes and Volkswagens, each retaining the authenticity of the original brand while bearing the signature of the model maker.

How can we explain the significant price variations between different brands of model cars?

The price depends on several factors: the rarity of the model, the quality of the finishes, the scale, the manufacturer, and sometimes official licenses. An officially licensed Ferrari model will cost more than a generic reproduction, and premium brands like AUTOart or Minichamps charge higher prices than mainstream brands.

Are there any model cars of defunct car brands?

Absolutely! Many model car manufacturers perpetuate the memory of long-gone brands like Saab, Pontiac, Plymouth, or French manufacturers like Panhard. These models are particularly sought after by nostalgic collectors and often constitute valuable pieces in a diverse collection.
