I'm with Bish.  Looks like the old ID Models release.  Combat Models made one but they were US based.  Looks like you have your work cut out for you.

Ditto on ID. I looked at the Combat Model vacs online and the quality is relatively poor.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

According to the scalmates entry, the Tigger models re-box include updated/new parts. That might be the resin engine. There does not seem to be much in AM for 32nd 234's. I did check MDC as they once did a resin kit, but they don't have any sets for the Arado.

Looks like a decent scale drawing, however. Any chance of getting a copy?

,Somebody once tried to tell me that the nazi's had a base on the moon, does this mean that they also had pod racers???????

In the stash I have a Combat Models 109 in 32nd scale and if my memory serves me correct a Contrails model of a HP 100 in 72nd.

Okay:

 If they do look like Pod racer engines, Star Wars related - What should we say your Star Wars name is?
