Information

Since the end of 2014, small 1/64 scale collector models have been offered under the name "Schuco" in the series "Edition 1:64." Accident or not - the first model of the series was a Porsche 911 Turbo (930) from 1975. But this is exactly the model, which no longer came into production in the 1:66 series. Thus at least this model was for me highly interesting and I of course wanted to get all versions of it. In the series there are also other "overlaps" with my actual collection area. It was therefore also foreseeable that I had to expand my collection, because the models fit together naturally in size.

Initially, I was only interested in the classics (model year before 2000) in this series, since mid 2022, however, I have now expanded my collection, I have also acquired bracketed off models as yet and so I'm a complete collector now.

The reason for the expansion was the receipt of a larger collection in which of course included some newer Porsche models - so the virus is still active (I mean of course the collecting virus ).

These edition 1:64 models are produced in China, although they usually have no movable parts, but are very detailed built and also painted or decorated, even have rubber-tired wheels with rims matching the model.

For some regions in the world there are partly exclusive models - e.g. for USA, Japan or Hong Kong. One interesting detail is that these models are even partially designed as right-hand drive.

The models usually come in window boxes, but for America in blisters. Also for Japan there are blisters, there is but additionally a cardboard box in the blister.

The models for America also have Chase versions. Instead of the model colour, these are painted with clear varnish, all other details (decals) are available. Since a dealer carton contains 24 models and one of them is a Chase model a ratio of 1 to 23 is obtained. Meanwhile, at least in Hong Kong there are also Chase models, but the models are delivered in Windowboxes, so the ratio is different. I do not currently have exact information on this, but probably 1 to 20, maybe 21 models in cardboard, one of them Chase.
