Whitebox is a German brand specialized in the marketing of 1:24 diecast models. These are models derived from newsstand series but offered in different versions and colours, with a particularly advantageous quality-price ratio. The subjects are both road and racing cars. The 1:24 scale is one of the most appreciated by collectors and one of those with the most historical tradition.
