# Scale It Up

How big is a 1:64 diecast? Slide the real car and watch every scale follow.

## What does 1:64 scale mean?

A diecast's scale is how much smaller it is than the real car. At 1:64, every inch on the model stands for 64 inches on the real car. A car about 4.7 metres long becomes a model about 7.3 centimetres long. Most cars on Scaled Garage are 1:64.

## Common diecast scales

- **1:18:** large display models.
- **1:24:** a popular size for display cars and model kits.
- **1:43:** a classic size for collectors' models.
- **1:64:** the size of most blister-pack cars, from brands like Hot Wheels, Jada Toys and Maisto.
- **1:87:** also called HO scale, the same as many model railways.
