Automodello Information

There is a question asked all too often in the diecast world: “Why doesn’t anyone make a good model of the …” Automodello started with just such a question, and has grown into a new series of precision 1:43 and 1:24 hand-built, limited edition replicas specifically targeted to fill voids left by mainstream diecast and resincast manufacturers, starting with the 1964 Griffith Series 200 in 1:43 and the 1938 Phantom Corsair in 1:24. Automodello uses the finest materials and exacting craftsmanship to produce a model that will stand wheel to wheel with best in the industry, and brings to life cars that deserve to be collected and celebrated in diecast. Hop in, and let us engage your dreams. Who we are? Automodello is the brainchild of Jim Cowen, sports car enthusiast and proprietor of online diecast retailer Diecasm LLC. In the course of operating Diecasm, Jim began to take note of important and interesting marques and cars that were being overlooked by the mainstream diecast / resincast manufacturers. Not content to let these models remain neglected, Jim enlisted master designer Raffi Minasian to craft the prototypes for this exciting new line, and, Matt Boyd to bring descriptions about the marques and the cars to like. Plus a small team of talented enthusiasts with a mixed background in the diecast / resincast and full-scale auto world have since signed on to help bring you the very best in 1:43 and 1:24 scale models.
