Model cars are miniature replicas of real vehicles, designed to resemble cars, trucks, and other automobiles. They can be made from various materials, including plastic, metal, and wood. Model cars come in different scales, such as 1:18 or 1:64, indicating their size relative to the actual vehicle. Many enthusiasts collect these models for display or hobby purposes. Some model cars are designed for assembly and can be customized with paint and decals. Others are pre-assembled and ready for display. Collectors often seek out specific brands, such as Hot Wheels or Matchbox, to complete their collections or showcase unique designs.
