What makes us different?

3 - Code 3 Models
Apart from our long standing 'Product Development contracts' for the biggest in the world, Code3Models was designed from the outset to fill a niche in the market - 'flexibility' in scale production. 
  1. Quantities we can produce
    - Minimum of 1 and no maximum.
  2. Huge range of vehicular models and scales
    - 1/16th, etc.
  3. Love, care and attention
    - The Hand-built scale vehicles embrace our
     extreme scale detail.

What is meant by Code 3?

In short, Code 3 is an industry term for scale vehicular models which have been customized or converted from their original state and/or to a given brief - Code3Models however is our chosen and worldwide established business name and brand.
  • Some examples of Code 3 models could be seen as plain white cars or vans which have been painted or have had decals added with the livery or brand (aesthetics/graphics) of a police force such as stripes, force badge/crest, force code etc.
  • Extras such as light-bars and possibly tools have been added as well. Another example would be a plain truck which has been decaled or painted to have the livery parts of a company.
  • New parts, removing parts, or adding extra parts can also be essential to when aiming for scaled realism of the model.

We're the ultimate - Code 3
... not be confused with 'lesser customised' scale models.

Code 1. This is any diecast produced by the manufacturer. It could be a mainstream toy or model, or a limited edition or ordered promotional. The important thing is that it has been produced totally by the manufacturer.

Code 2. This is any diecast that has been finished by a second party, with the knowledge and agreement of the manufacturer. Examples could be a batch of plain white or coloured models, that have had their decals added by another company, with the consent of the manufacturer. It could be castings ordered unpainted, that have been finished and presentation boxed under license. At the end of the day, two companies have been involved in the finishing process, where normally there would be one.

Code 3. This is the refinishing or alteration of a model, without the consent of the manufacturer. This description sounds almost dodgy, but Code 3 is now a recognized collectable in it's own right, and there is nothing illegal or unscrupulous in these singular alternative models. Code 3 covers a wide spectrum, and can mean simply swapping the trailers of two different articulated units, to completely changing the colour and look of a model. Basically, any model intentionally altered in appearance from it's original manufactured look, without the consent of the afore mentioned manufacturer.
