The detail of 1\/18 were great and are still. The 1\/43 were good and 1\/64 were almost quality of toy cars. The details and quality were not that great. The last 5 years you can definitely see that the production process has gone up and therefore the quality has gone up. but you can see it over the complete line. 1\/18 are even better then 20 years ago. The 1\/43 have the quality of the 1:18 20 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>I now have a couple of 1\/64 scales and there you can see the difference:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSCN5279-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-216 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSCN5279-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"Minichamps64 Hezemans Porsche\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSCN5279-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSCN5279-1024x622.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSCN5279-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSCN5279-1536x932.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSCN5279-2048x1243.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSCN5279-600x364.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSCN5279-945x574.jpg 945w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The first one is a Minichamps(64) made in 2010 of a 1976 Porsche driven by Toine Hezemans. You can see that the details are just a bit bulkier. If you look inside the rollbar really is really refined in the details. Nog that it&#8217;s a complete block of plastic, but it&#8217;s noticeable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tarmacworks-t64-035-19nur45-04-800x800_0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-218 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tarmacworks-t64-035-19nur45-04-800x800_0-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Tarmac Nissan Coronel\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tarmacworks-t64-035-19nur45-04-800x800_0-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tarmacworks-t64-035-19nur45-04-800x800_0-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tarmacworks-t64-035-19nur45-04-800x800_0-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tarmacworks-t64-035-19nur45-04-800x800_0-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.project34.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tarmacworks-t64-035-19nur45-04-800x800_0.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The other car i have is a 1\/64 scale from Tarmac and based upon a Nissan where one of the drivers was Tom Coronel. The detail is on all sides better, even the box (that&#8217;s even signed by Tom Coronel) has a nicer appearance.<\/p>\n<p>So in my opinion 1\/64 is indeed the new 1\/43. With the prices of 1\/43 going up and the 1\/18 will even cost you almost a kidney the 1\/64 is a very good alternative to 1\/43. In a my display case (an IKEA Bertby display case) where i normally can only display 1 1\/18 and at best 6 1\/43, i can display about 10 to 12\u00a0 (or maybe even more) 1\/64 scale models.<\/p>\n<p>You can be picky and say that the details for 1\/43 and 1\/18 are better and when you look at the overall quality, those are still better, but the prices are also higher. If you collect for the fun of collecting, 1\/64 is a great way to expand your collection and not only have &#8220;toy&#8221; cars in you display cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When i started collection about 20 years my first scale model was a 1\/18 car of Jos Verstappen (dad of Max Verstappen).
