Fabbri is international publishing company that among many other line of products in recent years sales different collectibles along with its magazines. Models that are distributed under Fabbri name in fact produced by different model makers depend on the collection theme.
Models were distributed in some European countries, New Zealand and in Japan.
On some markets models were distributed under DeAgostini brand name. Fabbri didn’t export their models beyond countries where they have their own distribution system.
These models were exported from Europe where they were purchased from independent dealer.
Air Combat Collection
“The collection covers all the most important warplanes of World War 2, the Cold War and the present day. … 1:100 scale die-cast model warplane or helicopter. All the models are intricately detailed with accurate and historically correct camouflage and markings”
It appears that models from ‘Air Combat Collection’ made of famous C.D.C. Armour Collection tooling and presented in the liveries that were available in their original collection.
The main difference is on C.D.C. branded models weapons were attached to the model while Fabbri models have weapons packed along with a model in a blisterpack and need to be attached. And of cause packaging, instead of display case it is a blisterpack.
Please note that C.D.C. models retailed around $30.00 and now up to $40.00.
After C.D.C. was purchased by Franklin Mint 1/100 Collection was produced in limited quantity and now by my best knowledge is discontinued. I believe these models were price in a range of $25.00.
