Diecast metal models come in a huge range of sizes (scale) and
subject matter.
Die casting is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing
molten metal under high pressure into a mould cavity. The mould cavity
is created using two hardened tool steel dies which have been machined
into shape and work similarly to an injection mould during the process.
We stock a range of diecast metal cars and motor cycles either as ready
made models or in kit form.
The most popular scales are 1:18, 1:24, 1:43 and we also stock a large
variety of 1:76 scale vehicles which complement the model railways (OO
scale) and a smaller scale to go with the N scale railways.
There are many brands available but we stock mainly Oxford Diecast,
Burago, Maisto and Welly.
