TW white metal kits

[dandarez]

Seen a few 1/43 scale of these apparently limited edition car kits in white metal on ebay in quite plain boxing, TW Collection - anyone know who makes them or whereabouts they are. And, important, are they any good?

No wisecracks please ie TW make them! TIA

They look to be very nicely made kits, quite simple with few parts, but build into very nice examples of the real thing. In a quick search I can't find much more information than is in the various eBay auctions, but if they make a kit of a car that you can't get elsewhere, it's probably worth a chance.

I'm guessing they're a little cottage industry/one man band so more than likely sub out the casting of the parts, but from the pictures I've seen the castings look quite nice, certainly better than some more mainstream producers.
