Leo Models - Some at 1/144 !?

 

Leo Models - Some at 1/144 !?

these popped up in my inbox as a result of a standing searchin on ebay...
Alhthough up for 11 Euro which roughly eqautes to 1165 Yen / 15 USD / 14 AUD / 10 GBP so dont expect to fine a product,
It does for obvious reasons have to be one of the largest collection of Italian aircraft out there?

It does have a mixed range of scales aking to a "fix the box" range, incorporating 1/72, 1/100 1/144 and 1/200? So be careful on the items that you buy

1/44 or 1/200 (?) SM.81 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savoia-Marchetti_SM.81
The SM.81 is only a little bit larger than the SM.79, so it would be a shame if they dropped it to 1/200....
The dimensions of the ebay listing match closely to what it should be if it was 1/144

oddly, the website says it 1/200 - yet the measurements on the ebay listing do reflect the 1/144 scale dimensions for this aircraft!?

There are references to the range on the following forum threads

The manufacturer is Leomodels, which is working with publisher, Fabbri, in yet another of those Altaya, Hachette, etc.-style subscription deals

There are 3 items on interest on this photo!
1) Caproni CC2 - Italian Jet Fighter for WWII (real name Caproni N.1 (?)) wiki google
2) Martin B-10 wiki google
3) Spitfire mk XVI (?)

interesting to see the relative size of the N.1(CC.2) and the A-10,
The N.1(CC.2) is no little volksjeager its a big beast!!


KdK blog is a good source of seeing what items will be coming up for production soon.

It is by this method we have been able to observe some of the lasy years British and Japanese themed kits come to light!

It is then upto you you to look out (obviously I will help!) and then fight out on prices to achieve the kits you want!?
