Model Manufacturers
Model cars have been manufactured by companies from all over the world. Nowadays most models are made in China, either by European, American and Australian companies that let produce in the Far East for financial reasons or by Chinese-owned companies. However, there are still some manufacturers in all parts of the world assembling model cars in their own countries. The following list includes all manufacturers represented in my collection.
