WHAT QUALIFIES AS A PRECISION MODEL?
The perfect precision model would be one that could be enlarged to full size, started up and driven away. We realize that isn’t possible (at least most of us do), but you get the idea. We want the replica to be as accurate an example of the real thing as it can be. Two vital ingredients go into that recipe. First, good research by the manufacturer is critical to ensure historically correct representations of the exterior and interior, authentic factory color schemes and appropriate optional equipment. Second, and of equal importance is superior model design. That means including as many operational features as possible: opening doors, hoods, and trunks, a fully wired engine compartment, steerable wheels, a detailed trunk and interior, working suspension, etc. It also means a model with superior fit and finish. A quality build should have no door gaps, paint drips, glue marks, chips, etc. Some of the diecast manufacturers that we feel uphold this level of quality are: AUTOart, CMC, Crea
