Die cast toy companies sometimes make a wide range of products and few span across segments, tried to be as accurate as possible in segregating the above, expect few overlaps across segments (Ex – American Muscle, BBR). May have also missed few companies. The content above is based on 1:18, 1:24 and 1:43 car scale models (motorbikes, commercial vehicles not considered) with a few exceptions as of Dec 2016.
