Good news for 1/72 scale armor model kit builders. Rick Apple from William Tell International Inc., -a Minneapolis, MN based company- has contacted MKR to let us know that Modelcollect Models has found a distributing home in the United States. The line begins with a beautiful set of 1/72 Russian tanks model kits like the T-72B w/ERA, TOS-1A w/T-72 Chassis, T-90, T-90A, T-90SM MBT, TOS-1A w/Heavy Flame Thrower System. Judging by the parts count of the box art, they don’t seem to have a bunch of molded-on detail but rather highly detailed model kits.
