About Trident Miniatures

Trident, whose products are imported from Austria by Walthers, was founded in 1966. Their goal was to provide collectors with accurate replicas of prototype vehicles through the use of extensive research, photos and, when possible, original blueprints. Trident offers a wide variety of 1/87 model kits featuring plastic and white-metal parts, as well as a line of military decals.
