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
http://tdhp.49.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=7116

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

1/144 Big Bird Vol.5 - Algernon

1/144 Big Bird Vol.5 - Algernon

Algernon disclosed the main items in the next installment of the Big Bird Series.

The line-up is quite interesting as it has items previously available as metal kits from Altaya and Atlas, resin kits and the H6K5 Type 97 Mavis 97 a kit from Trumpeter?

The Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 "Sparviero" apprears to have people excited as Italian aircraft are not covered too often in 1/14 Gashopon. In fact I can think of only the Macchi C.202 in the F-Toys WWII "War Birds" Collection ,the Macchi 33 & 72 in the F-Toys Seaplanes Collection and an Italian Spad in The F-Toys Bi-plane collection?

The B&V 138C was obviosuly produced by FE-Resin & Miniwing
