Description from the seller

A vast collection of model cars from the series "En voiture Tintin" (In the car, Tintin!), a complete work produced by Editions Atlas between 2001 and 2006.
Here is a detailed description of the various aspects of this collection:
1. Physical Characteristics and Scale
Scale: All the models are in 1:43 scale, the standard size for vintage car collecting.
Materials: The bodies are made of die-cast metal with plastic details and rotating wheels.
Presentation: Each model is enclosed in a rigid plexiglass case, placed inside a distinctive blue box. At the bottom of nearly every case there is a paper diorama that faithfully reproduces a scene from Hergé's original comics.
Miniatures: Inside the vehicles are hand-painted figurines of Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, Thomson and Thompson, and other famous characters.
Precision: Hergé was known for his realism; the cars in the comics (and thus these models) are precise reproductions of real vehicles of the era, such as the Citroën 2CV, the Ford Model T, the Lincoln Torpedo, or the Willys Jeep.
