Modelcollect Takes Aim at the World War II Market

AS72022

Long rumored but never confirmed, Modelcollect has officially announced plans to enter the pre-assembled WWII Market with an array of 1:72 scale panzers kicking off the attack. The four new models include a German E-50 Flakpanzer Anti-Aircraft Vehicle (AS72022), a German E-50 Medium Tank with 88mm Gun (AS72025), a German E-75 Heavy Tank with 88mm Gun (AS72021), and a German E-75 Flakpanzer Anti-Aircraft Vehicle (AS72023).

AS72006

Also debuted were three new modern-era battle tanks, one based on a derivative of the ubiquitous T-72 and two more T-90 variants (AS72020, AS72003 and AS72006). Look for all seven new models to arrive as early as next week.

We’ve Lowered our Free Shipping Threshold!

Shipping logos

In an era when everything seems to be rising in cost, we’ve decided to drop our free shipping threshold for domestic orders within the Continental US to $150. We reserve the right to choose the carrier to fulfill this offer, and you may not combine qualifying and non-qualifying merchandise together to take advantage of this promotion. In other words, the order must contain in-stock merchandise only, and may not include back orders, special orders or pre-orders. Moreover, certain over-sized items may not be included in this promotion since these items cost us an arm and a leg to ship.

The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming!

It is with great pleasure that we announce the imminent arrival of a new line of military aircraft from DeAgostini. This new, multi-scale range traces the evolution of the Russian aircraft industry, with heavy emphasis on the aircraft that took to the skies during WWII and thereafter. Admittedly, its hard to wrap our heads around some on the scales portrayed (1:133, 1:81 or 1:180 to be specific), but as it was explained to us, the manufacturer decided to go with a multi-scale approach so that they could fit all of their introductions into a singular-sized box.

Frankly, at only $15.99 apiece, you really cannot go wrong with this line even if they aren’t designed to be paired with scale aircraft from other houses. And, there are several subjects that won’t likely be replicated by any other manufacturer any time soon. Keep them all on one shelf in your collection, and you’ll be glad you nabbed these little beauties!
