Bought this while in China, it's a 1/48 scale diecast model of the aircraft in the Avatar movie. It's an excellent model and it cost around £10.  ;D

From the following comments i was checking eBay. I see two that say they are 1/40 scale and plastic.
Yours you listed as 1/48 and diecast.
Same model or another version? Thought maybe you might know.

That looks like it's the same one, though mine was listed as 1/48 (which isn't saying much, one of the two listings might be off and I'd have to check what was actually on the box cover if anything) and the hull is definitely metal, with plastic parts.

That's a nice piece of hardware. But it will take a while before i can order as i need to learn Chinese. Or is there an English language version hidden somewhere. They also have a nice truck that sort looks like a Vietnam era Gaz truck type. Might be worth a try.

Got 4 (four!) of these as a "bargain" on evil-bay.
What I like is, that they are small, sneaky things. I guess I will convert them, as I am not very fond of the attachable weapon systems. But they are pretty nice.

Just beware that the scales are all over the place. Those trucks are about 1/32 or so. Even those marked with a scale are well out. The T-55 is actually about 1/50, the Type 99 is somewhere around 1/40 for the hull, the turret being much smaller. All are available from Chinese ebay sellers.

Well, I bit the 'plane bullet. I ordered and bought a cheapie 1:48th Junkers Ju 88 A-4 and Messerschmitt Bf 110 G-2 off Fleabay.
They're joining the Messerschmitt 108 B, Focke-Wulf Fw 44 and Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-8 that are in varying stages of assembly.
