The Franklin Mint in 1/100 are actually CDC Armour.

"The Armour Collection was begun in 1996 by C.D.C. of Milan Italy. They were acquired by The Franklin Mint in 2001."

Unfortunately, Franklin Mint appear to be out of business, as far as diecast goes. Been on life support/ hibernation for a couple of years, and not even special commissions are getting done.

Not surprising that you can't find CDC Armour anymore, let alone Franklin Mint.
