World of Tanks Meets the World of Diecast

In an effort to build out its brand and try out new untapped markets, the makers of the massively multiplayer online game, World of Tanks, entered into a collaborative agreement with model maker, Hachette, to produce a range of 1:72 scale military vehicles.
