Tron is one of the longest-running brands in the history of artisanal car modeling. The brothers Angelo and Paolo Tron began their modeling activity in the 1970s, with the production of the first kits in Loano, in the province of Savona (Italy). In addition to producing their own models, Angelo and Paolo soon became among the leaders in Italy and Europe in the sale of models and accessories, with a wealth of offerings that were rarely seen in that period. In 1987, Paolo moved to Milan, opening the Milano43 shop, while Angelo remained in Liguria to deal with the production of Tron kits and accessories. The Tron brand still exists today and continues the production of kits and assembled models, as well as taking care of the accessories line.
