In the diagram above, the same car can be seen at different scales. Scale is an indication of relative sizes. A 1:64 scale diecast car is one 64th the size of the real automobile. Written another way, the real automobile is 64 times larger. Likewise, a 1:18 scale diecast car means the real one is 18 times larger.

The image above is a sample of how detail differs by scale. In general, larger cars will be more detailed, look more accurate, and have more features. For example, many 1/18 scale cars have workable steering and some have spring suspension for the tires. Features and level of detailing will vary by manufacturer.
