I keep bumping into "LEO" models on eBay. Photos show well proportioned, nicely detailed models...
...that seem to belong at a much higher price point.
Most, if not all of the eBay vendors are in the east.
Anyone here purchased any?
Are they as good as they look?
Thanks!

They certainly look more expensive than they are.
I'm wondering if someone is back-dooring them out of a factory. One of the conditions is,
"Not include original box !!!
If you need the original box, please pay 3 $ extra.you can buy it and send an ebay message to tell me.I will send an invoice to you:-)
We guaranty the item will be treated well, and also protected well.
Please Help US Reduce waste, Let US protect the environment together ! Thanks.
IF you want Original Package for any reason. Please send email to us, We will Resend to you. Thanks."

I have two of the Leo Lamborghinis. I'm sure they are one of the many partworks type series.
They probably come out of the PCT Group (Ixo, etc.) Here's my Jarama Bob Wallace "hot rod":

Wallace was a Lambo development guy, was also responsible for the Miura Jota. I have another Jarama on order. Models are pretty nice for the price, equivalent to WhiteBox and Altaya models. They do a lot of the Lambo show cars - my other one is the Raptor Zagato. Look for the ones with the Lamborghini outer box.

They do Maseratis also - sold as White Box sometimes...
Minute 13 here shows a Leo baseplate! -
Their website seems to be dead already! 🙁

LeoModels
They are an Italian marketing firm selling models mainly made by PCT (Owner of Ixo, Ist etc) in China and Bangladesh. The same castings appear from white box and as Part Works models from Hachette and others.
