They come from a "Airliner" magazine collection that can be found in newstands in France and Spain. Anybody have any idea who makes them?

I bought one of those models (BA 747) some months ago at Lissabon/Lisboa.

The magazine collection is called "Avioes e aeroportes", printed by Ediciones Orbis, SA in 2000 (Spain). As far as I know there are 40 magazines with 40 models (MD-11, 747-200, 747-400, 777-200, IL-86, Concorde, A 300-600, A 340, TU-154, MD-83, L-1011, A 330, A 3XX). I don't know which liveries they choose for the different moulds, but the scale is NOT 1/500. My 747-400 BA is bigger than 1/500 (length ca. 14.8 cm). I don't know whether all models are made in the same scale. There is no hint concerning the manufacturer of the models. The quality of the mould is not as good as Herpa Classic Wings, but the printing is quite good - no decals used!
