Tooling a Maisto Model

Have you ever wondered how
a model is replicated?

Maisto has answered just that question while sharing with us an example of how they replicated a model.


First, the models are made out of resin.  At this stage, any changes that need to be made are easily done.

Once the tooling is approved, the next step is to create a finished diecast model.

As you can see, the tooling of the model is much larger than the finished product.

This Maisto model was replicated in 1/64 scale.  Can you image how big the tooling would be for one of Maisto's 1/18 scale cars?


Make sure to visit our website and check out our Maisto collection with a variety of scales and eras, as well as a great range of prices.

Collecting Convenience

I think we would all concede that it's easier to collect 1/16, 1/32, and 1/64 scale models as opposed to the real machinery! The race to provide quality and affordable tractors to small and medium sized family farms has provided collectors with several beautifully designed tractors from many different manufacturers. Classic stylings from IH to Minneapolis-Moline to Massey Harris emerged and the trademark colors of each brand were established and advertised to the masses during the tractor boom of the 1940's and 50's. Thanks to the marketing of these iconic brands, any farmer can now look across his neighbors field, see the color of the tractor, and have a pretty good idea about what equipment his neighbor is using.

The hobby market has also benefitted from this design and marketing gold mine, getting to see scale models of some ground breaking machines and create collections of our favorite farm equipment, all through the convenience of scale models.

3000toys.com has always been interested in providing the best possible diecast farm toys for our customers and the story remains the same today.
