I found these at a Hobby Shop I stopped at when I was away. I also seen one of these at Hobby Town awhile ago. They seem to make Italian Modern and WorldWarII also German World War II. Says Criel Model on the bottom and Serie Oro on the box. It is a Italian company.
Link to Criel Model but nothing about these on there site.

They are nice 1/43 models here some pics I took.

Hi,
This line is produced by an Italian company called Edison-Giacottoli. They were also distributed through Schuco (a German diecast maker) and offered in different packaging. Sone vehicles, like the Italian Centauro, German Fuchs and Stuka zu fuss are quite large, and handsomely detailed. Here's a link to their site:

On the whole, they are very attractive and very affordable. While nothing new was offered in 2007 (the line was launched in 2006) we hear that they plan on ramping up again in 2008, no doubt under the same distribution arrangement.

Somebody needs to make an Sdkfz. 231 , or 234/2 "Puma" , or any of the other 234 series variant in 1:32nd.

...... even in 1:18 for that matter ! *

1/43 is a major die cast car scale....one of the oldest scales going in fact, so i guess that's why these were made to 1/43. A few east european companies also have made military vehicles and guns to 1/43.
