diecast car scales?
I would like to purchase a diecast car, but I don't know the difference in the scales and am having trouble finding info on them. How does a 1:12 differ from a 1:64.

Got a question about diecast items that usually have scale measurements. How long is 1/32 scale?
And how long is 1:64 scale? Please indicate in inches or feet... Scale isn't a measurement, it's a ratio. So if your model at 1/32 scale is 2 inches long, the original item is 2*32 or 64 inches long, which is 5 feet 4 inches. Do the same math for 1/64. This comes in handy on maps also, where the scale can be 1 inch to 1 mile, 100 miles, [...]
