What does the scale 1:43, 1:18 etc. mean?

This really means 1 in 43 or 1 in 18 or whatever scale is being referred to. This means basically that it the model should be enlarged 43 or 18 times (depending on the scale) to reach the full size. The bigger the number, the smaller the model.

What is the collectability of different scales of models? 


1:43 is the traditional collector scale as of course many models in this scale can be displayed in the collection.

1:18 is fast becoming a sought after scale in many places as there is more detail, opening doors, bonnets and boots, operating steering, engine detail.
