87th Scale Models
- A little history
In the early days of 87th scale the models were simple, and not very well detailed. They were often made of one piece of coloured plastic (injection moulded), and had no windows. As technology progressed, modelmanufacturers were able to use more and better moulds thus creating models that were accurate in scale, multi-coloured and had interiors and windows. In the past twenty years the modelmakers have been able to create models with seperate head- and rearlights in the correct colours. Some of these models even have photoetched parts. Most of the moulds for more recent 87th scale models are made with the help of CAD/CAM, sometimes using the original factory drawings. (for example if the manufacturer of the real car ordered a scale model as a promotional item.)
Over the past twenty years, the modelmanufacturers released a lot of models that have been on collectors' wishlists for years. However, all major manufacturers have to keep a watchful eye on profitability and return on investment (a multi-part mould can easily cost between € 25.000 and € 90.000) so models that will only sell in small numbers due to the limited interest in those particular models are very rare. These 'gaps' left by the major manufacturers leave room for smaller companies to create their own models, either injection-moulded, die-cast, made of resin or spincast.
- The manufacturers list
Over the years, there have been a lot of companies (and hobbyists) that made (near) 87th scale models and accessories. Continously under construction is a complete listing of all manufacturers that ever made (near) 87th scale models. Where possible, a link to a seperate page where you can find pictures of models made by that manufacturer has been added. Currently, there are well over 1000 manufacturers listed and if you know of any others we would appreciate it if you would let us know.
