The scale itself provides the advantage for the collector by being that small, it doesnt' take up much room. Often they are ridiculously cheap to buy and easy accessible in any toy store or supermarket. The disadvantages I can easy live with - for example low levels of details or accuracy - these are mainly ment to be toys and not scale models - but in return the offer a great deal of charm and an air of no-nonsense joy.


So here are some of them:

First the car that triggered the whole thing that day in the supermarket, Ferrari 458 (Hot Wheels)


Ferrari 156 (Hot Wheels), to wide wheels of course, but overall a nice interpretation of the iconic F1...



Ferrari 308 GTS (Hot Wheels), nobody growing up in the 80's could have missed how cool Magnum P.I. was driving this car in the TV-series..



Ferrari 512 M (Hot Wheels)


Ferrari 288 GTO (Majorette), bought in the nineties and this i an example of the "naive interpretation" of a real car, still having charm as a small die-cast
