Its only exclusive selling by Big Hobby (Japan). The engine comes without carburetor & flywheel while the backplate is idea for O.S. carburetor.

Resembles the Picco motor

The HP .45 was produced (in conjunction with Itani c/o "Big Hobby") using Picco tooling (supposedly in Picco plant, using an updated version of the Picco .45 mold).

OPS produced a similiar version (in conjunction with Itani c/o "Big Hobby"), using different specs, with "OPS .45" label, in 2017, (using updated Picco molds, but manufactured in OPS plant)

And there you have it!.... lot of similarities between the Picco HP and the NEW OPS 45.

We posted a link, in Japanese, above showing the operations within the Picco facility.

Clearly, those fella's are Italian, not Japanese, in the photos. Also photo of Itani and

Angelo Picco.

Thanks.

yes, looks like there is a "2018" version of the HP .45 . Also a new updated "2020" version of the HP .45 (with interesting tweaks to the liner)

Matters not, Big Sky was adamant about not selling to the North American market.
Thanks.

You mean “Big Hobby”?
Andy gets product directly from (Max) OPS, as far as I know.
