All in 1/72 and cast in resin by French ADV Mini. Really chuffed, because I got them all for less than £30 which is great as they're rare as hens teeth here and could be cast in gold considering what you have to pay if you can find them abroad and ship them.
They are nice little  kits aren't they,  I  have 2 Stanground an ERC-90 and an AMX-10 P of theirs too. The stag hounds were going to  get more modern  turrets  modern diesel engines and some applique  armour so as to bring them up to date,  and be Honduras army border  control  vehicles. The other two would also be in Honduras service.

Finally found at a reasonable price instead of the ridiculous amount usually  asked, I found a Bandai B-Wing Fighter.  One of my favorite SW ships. 
That's all well and good, but in what scale, lol!

Bandai B-Wing is 1/72.
Fred,  I thought they came out with one in 1/144 as well. And, their "1/144" A-wings are not, they used the wrong measurement for the A-wing so they're out of scale. The length of the A-wing is 6.9m. Someone, at one point, accidentally transposed them to 9.6m, and that is what Bandai ended up using. And so far, it's the only screw up they've made.

As far as I know 1/72 is the only scale available for the B-Wing. I love Bandai's SW stuff but would love it if they did more than the Snowspeeder in 1/48.  Though I guess I'd hate to see what a 1/48 B-Wing sold for...
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

There's also the old AMT B-Wing from 1983, even though its scale is debatable. It is rumored to be 1:94. And Blue Moon did an 1:48 resin kit.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Thanks for your experiences, Chris. I'm excited to have a peek when they arrive.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

They have the tracks moulded  on to the road  wheels , which some people are not so keen on but  the detail  is good on them.
Today  arrived a whim buy Sword Lightning  T4/5, not supposed to  be the easiest  kit to build  but when I do get chance to  build it,  I  just  take my time with it.  It will be part of the miffed  Meerkat's squadron  doing  SEAD work in North Africa.

Not for these two other that using the artwork in the Goshawk kit scaled to 1/72 to make it a more accurate example. No idea for the Hawk 200, maybe Indian or Finnish, I do have at least two more of these but one of them is allocated with an Italeri T-45 to become part of the Brazilian Navy.

No problem at all, there was a customs declaration form on the box the same as if you send from the UK overseas last year.
