Accurate Models
Now available (mostly on eBay) new models of the Bagheera 1 & 2, Rancho, Murena and Espace 1 Ph2.
These are all 1/43rd scale diecasts, made in China and labelled IXO, and they are extremely well detailed.
Also reportedly available a 1/43rd scale model of the Matra M25 and another of the Bagheera U8!
I don't have any further information on these, so see the specialist press for further information.
