Almost everyone has played with diecast toys when they were a young child. Diecast vehicles are pretty reasonably priced for a lot of the recent ones in stores and for some of the older ones that are common.
You can often find them in the local supermarkets, and even a lot of grocery shops have a rack or area where you can find diecast model cars.
In this day and age there are loads of different companies and retailers and they make diecast vehicles of every kind, there are cars, airplanes, construction vehicles, boats, military vehicles, and more. 1:18 scale is one of the most accepted scales for diecast car collectors. There is an extensive range in this scale with price linked to the details and number of working parts.
Some of the top pick Diecast Model Car producers:
Auto Art: Auto Art produce a massive line of scale models, more than 450 of them in 1:18 scale. Other scales they produce include 1:12, 1:43, 1:64 as well as 1:24 and 1:32 slot cars. Auto Art mainly produce current model cars including some racing models and they range from £25- £40 in 1:18 scale.
Classical Motor Cars: They create 1:18 scale classic European cars with varying detail. They also make cars in 1:12 and 1:24 scales. 1:18 scale diecast model cars range from £50 to £125.
