Model cars are miniature replicas of real vehicles, designed for display or collection. They can be made from various materials, including plastic, metal, and wood. Model cars come in different scales, such as 1:18 or 1:24, which indicate their size relative to the actual vehicle. Many enthusiasts enjoy building and customizing these models, adding details like paint and decals. These models can represent a wide range of vehicles, from classic cars to modern sports cars and even race cars. Some model cars are designed for racing, while others are purely for show. Collectors often seek rare or limited-edition models to enhance their collections.
