Shop diecast model cars by scale at Fairfield Collectibles, from display-ready 1:18 centerpieces to space-saving 1:64 fleets. Each scale strikes a different balance between size, detail, and how many models fit on a shelf, so this is the place to start if scale matters more to you than era or brand.
Scale determines more than just size — it shapes how much engine-bay and interior detail a manufacturer can include, how much shelf space a collection needs, and which format suits a specific display goal, whether that's a handful of showpiece models or a shelf packed with dozens of cars. Collectors often settle on one primary scale for consistency, then branch into others for specialty pieces like semi trucks or motorsport liveries.
What's the most popular scale for diecast cars?1:18 and 1:24 are popular for display detail, while 1:64 is popular for collectors building a larger fleet in less space.
What if I want a scale outside the standard four?Our All Other Scales collection covers specialty sizes, from large-format 1:12 and 1:16 pieces to HO-gauge 1:87 models built for railroad layouts.
Can I mix scales in one collection?Yes — many collectors do, often using a primary scale for most of their collection and a secondary scale for specialty pieces like semi trucks or motorsport cars.
Do model car kits come in these same scales?Yes — most of our scale categories include both pre-built diecast and build-it-yourself kits in the same size.
