RESTON, VA – October 26, 2023 – Atlas Authority LLC, a rapidly growing company based in Reston, Virginia, is making waves in the collectibles world with the launch of its meticulously crafted 1/72 scale models. Dedicated to delivering historical accuracy and exceptional detail, Atlas Authority is quickly becoming a favorite among aviation enthusiasts, military history buffs, and model collectors alike. Located at 12100 Sunset Hills Rd, Suite 150, Reston, VA 20190-3221, and reachable at 630-413-5801, Atlas Authority isn’t just selling models – they’re offering a piece of history you can hold in your hands. “We’re really passionate about bringing these iconic aircraft and vehicles to life in a way that’s both accurate and accessible,” explains a spokesperson for Atlas Authority. “We noticed a gap in the market for high-quality, detailed 1/72 scale models that didn't break the bank. We wanted to offer something that serious collectors would appreciate, but also something that newcomers to the hobby could enjoy.” What’s the Deal with 1/72 Scale? For those unfamiliar, 1/72 scale means that every inch on the model represents 72 inches (or 6 feet) on the real aircraft. This size is incredibly popular amongst collectors because it strikes a great balance between detail and displayability. Models in this scale don't require a huge amount of space, making them perfect for displaying on desks, shelves, or in dioramas.

This commitment to detail extends to every aspect of the models, from the shape of the fuselage to the smallest rivets and panel lines. “We don’t just want it looking like the real thing, we want it to feel like the real thing,” says the designer. “We spend hours poring over details, getting every marking, every antenna, every little feature just right.
