What is a realistic model car (static model car)?
Realistic model cars are a term used to refer to cars that are miniature versions of real cars. The model will be simulated according to the actual design according to a certain ratio. Depending on the requirements of the partner brand as well as the characteristics of the real car, the materials used and production techniques applied are also different. The more realistic a model car describes the details of the real car, the higher the price.

Unlike dynamic model cars, the product line simulates the vehicle's operations - static model cars are not equipped with engines but the manufacturer only simulates the internal mechanical details. Therefore, this car line will be much simpler and cheaper than dynamic model cars. However, this is also the main reason why model cars reach and attract many players as they do today.
Realistic model cars are not only toys for boys who are passionate about exploring, but also collectibles for model car lovers. A typical example is Mike Zarnock - his collection of tens of thousands of Hot Wheels model cars has appeared in the media many times, making many people overwhelmed.

What materials are model cars usually made from?
Plastic car model
Plastic car models are the most commonly produced type of model. These car models are usually made of polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate or acrylic. Plastic car or motorbike models are modeled carefully, accurately and are difficult to deform. In particular, the car will be covered with high-quality electrostatic paint, ensuring shine and being as similar to the real car as possible.
Plastic model cars are the most popular product line today
Realistic model car made of Diecast metal
Metal car models are manufactured from types such as iron, stainless steel, copper and aluminum. These car models are cut, punched and flattened using different technologies to create details. These car models are often highly accurate and are also powder-coated to keep the surface shiny and prevent corrosion.
Diecast model cars are highly durable, the details are perfectly detailed, even down to every screw. Diecast model cars can open the door, open the engine compartment cover, turn the steering wheel... high-end models can also adjust the seats, fold the mirrors...
Diecast cars have high detail and precision, extremely beautiful
Resin model car
Some manufacturers want to create realistic model cars at a cheaper price, so they use a type of silicon and rubber to mold the car frame. Model cars produced using this method are called Resin cars.
The cost of manufacturing car molds is very low, only 1/100 compared to Diecast. Manufacturing time is also only a few days. Therefore, right after the real car model is released, companies specializing in selling Resin cars can also quickly launch car model cars on the market to keep up with the trend.
However, this model car has the disadvantage of being easily broken and damaged if subjected to physical impact. Furthermore, the car's storage environment must also be given great attention because this car line also quickly deteriorates under the impact of heat. The reason why many people do not like this car model is because the detailed simulation of the real car is not high, the user will not be able to open the car door or engine compartment cover. Hidden interior details such as the cockpit are also not machined.
