Scale Model Diecast
Diecast (or die cast, or die-cast) toys were first produced early in the 20th century and have an interesting history. The first scale model diecasts on the market were basic, consisting of a small car or van body with no interior. In the early days it was also common for impurities in the alloy to cause the casting to distort or crack. As a result, diecast toys made before World War II are difficult to find in good condition. From about the year 2000 on, the quality and accuracy of a diecast model car improved dramatically. Around 2005, manufacturers began to offer very high-quality, highly-detailed models. Many of these "premium" features are now found in mainstream, low-priced diecasts that were once only found in models costing upwards of $100. Engine wiring and plumbing, carpeting in the interior, detailed instrument panels, seatbelts, and photo-etched details are common even in models costing under $50.
