ACME's 2026 Aaron Reutzel number 87 Power Plus selection has two separate choices: black or white, and 1:18 or 1:50. Set the scale first, then choose the finish. A photograph of number 87 alone cannot tell you which of the four offers is in your cart.

The two 1:18 offers

The black Power Plus car is A1826012. The white Power Plus car is A1826009. Both identify the same driver, number and season, so the documented selection difference is the offered finish rather than a different driver.

Each 1:18 description lists approximate dimensions of 8 inches long, 4 wide and 4.5 high. Removable wings and hood cowl, positionable wheels, rubber tires and chassis detail are specified. Choose this format for a larger model or when those removable parts are important.

The two 1:50 offers

The black 1:50 car is A5026009, while the white 1:50 car is A5026006. These descriptions give approximate dimensions of 3 by 1.5 by 1.75 inches.

The smaller offers list rubber tires, diecast construction with plastic parts and team-themed reclosable clamshell packaging. They do not confirm the larger cars' removable components or positionable wheels. Their advantage for a compact collection is the smaller footprint, not a promise of identical functions at a reduced size.

Which pair are you trying to build?

For a color comparison, buy black and white in the same scale. That keeps the size consistent and makes the finish the main visible difference. For a scale comparison, buy the same color in both sizes so the presentation has a different organizing idea.

Buying all four creates two finishes in two scales, not four different driver subjects. These are individual product offers; there is no four-car bundle or combined display case stated by these links.

Check the code even when the numbers look familiar

A1826009 and A5026009 share final digits but describe different combinations: the first is white in 1:18, the second black in 1:50. Record the full code rather than ordering from the last four digits or the car's racing number.

For a gift, look at the recipient's existing shelf before choosing. A 1:50 addition may be welcome in a compact lineup but look out of place beside a collection built exclusively around larger 1:18 cars. Leave room for the package when the model will remain enclosed.

The 2026 wording identifies these advertised releases; this guide does not claim current race results or a particular event-specific paint history. Choose the exact color-and-scale combination and check current availability in the Acme Models & Collectibles collection.
