Scale Models
Overall Rank: #5
Types of agricultural products sold: 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, Pedal tractor. John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, and AGCO replicas.
Signature product: 1/24th Gleaner A85 combine with corn-head. Although Scale models makes many products, this one has the best detail. After the release of the 9870 John Deere 9870 combine pedal tractor I think this will change.
Availability and pricing: Online dealers, Implement dealers, Toy shows. Pricing is too high for the level of detail.
Positives: Made in America, Offers models that other companies don’t.
Negatives: Poor detail, little accuracy, high prices.
My impression: Scale Models is clearly in last place based on my criteria. From a collectors perspective Scale Model’s products are overpriced and poorly detailed. In the past they have used and re-used their same castings again and again. From a kids perspective Scale models products seem to be durable, and made to handle allot of sand box abuse.
