They're from China (PRC) and are specializing in 1:32nd and 1:48th scale MiGs etc at the moment, with a 1:72nd scale Tu95 'Bear' promised for later this year, along with lots of other things.
The quality is very good, if not up to the very highest hasegawa-type standards, but they are considerably cheaper and, for the price, very good value for money. Accuracy seems to be pretty good as well.

I've just got hold of the MiG-17. The quality of the kit is very good, tho not quite in the Tamiya scale of things. Looks pretty easy to assemble and a number of after market products are turning up for them - good 'cos they supply real rubber tyres which I suspect will degrade in time. Decals are useless, tho.
