Looksmart is another Label from MR Collection, a small italian company like Tameo or BBR, but they don`t produce F1 models i think and normaly they don`t sell kits. I know there exist kits from them, but don`t know any official source to get them. They are well enginered and nice to build like BBR kits, for those who know autobarn mclaren F1 GTR models, MR collection was the producer of these models too. In the mean they are made from resin, MFH is doing metal castings on their 1:43 line in the mean.
Hope this helps a bit.

Looksmart have good factory build, with small limited edition.
He had for long time ago, Formula cars, but no official KIts.
He sold Cars in many different scales.

The reason I asked is they have kits listed on Grand Prix Models in England. They have kits of the Pole winning Ferrari of Kimi from 2018, pole and race winner of Monza from this year. The kits look Tameo-esk and since I am a big Kimi fan going to order one and see how it is.

Thank you for the responses.

Found them, but to me it looks more like an upcomming handbuild model, not like a kit. There is only a pointing to resin casting, not resin/metal kit and that`s what i know from them usually, no kits, only small limited handbuild models.
