Was looking on ebay for some bits and pieces and came across this. Seller describes as Warhammer 40K Imperial ? Walkers / Craft / Tank on sprues (4) but I don't recognise it. Looks useful for spares but would like to know if this is 28mm (seller hasn't responded yet to question I sent on this) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230877042949?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Could this be Russian Robogear kit? There is lot of their kits on e-bay, but I've never seen the kit on sprue.
At the same time, one piece pretty much resembles their standard stand, so this must be one of their products.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/458276.page
It actually looks that there might be two separate kits as well - there is one with flying stand and then the other with tracks as well.
You can see the full list of their stuff here, but unfortunately there is no english version of their site.

Update - looks like these are Condor flyer and Hurricane tank kits.

Why bidding when ebay is full of BIN offers from russian sellers - the average price with shipping is around 7-8 GBP IIRC.

What you are looking at there is definitley Robogear kits.
I can't tell exactly from the sprues. (all mine have been taken off the sprue) but what you appear to have is...
Sprut
Hurricane
Thunder
Werewolf.
As a size reference, the figures in the pictures are roughly 35mm, and stand about a head taller than 40k figs.
See more of them here: http://www.tehnolog.ru/product/robogear.php
They appear to be mostly complete, but as I said above, I'm not totally sure. They are not the best of the robogear kits though the Werewolf is nice with some mods. I prefer the more battletechy mechs, though there are some great starting points for ork models in the line.
If shipping isn't too much then the current price is very good for four kits. If you like them, go ahead and bid. As was mentioned above, if you want specific models, the price-per-kit is not very high and can be really low if you look around on ebay.
Here's my thread detailing my many modified Robogear models.

Yup, Robogear.
Once available in the west under the "Airfix" logo. However, since the old Airfix went tits-up, this arrangement no longer applies (New Airfix is Hornby owned - yes, the model railway people).

Wow, this little lot went for £14.40 + £3.80 in the end. Not bad I guess for what you get, but a bit more than I was willing to part with. Back to scouring the bitz stores.

Buying them separately would have been cheaper I guess (if you can get a good deal on combined shipping).

Naah, those robotech kits do ~5-6 quid each before shipping.
You would, however, actually get *all* parts that way.

If you want to pick them up cheap, this dealer has really good prices.

He's USA based, but if you contacted him I'm sure he'd be willing to make arrangments for UK shipping.
I bought my first few batches of kits from him and was very satisified.

Happy to help.
If you check the link I put up earlier in the thread linking to the topic about my own adventures in robogear I include a few examples of folks who have used robogear to make ork models.
