If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

Oh goody, I could save 10% on £240.00.............

Bu they have zero stock anyway.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Given it's A Model if you could find a way to recycle all the plastic you will remove from the parts you could probably recoup half your outlay  ;D

I'll be interested to see the sprue shots when released.

It's a Future Release Kit.

Like the other A-Monster kits it'll be primarily fibreglass with injected details, evidently their
injected mouldings have improved.

A couple of quirky bizjets that never got into production:

Adam A700, twin boom project based on the A500.  I'm keen on this one as Groen Brothers proposed a gyrodyne version for it's DARPA Heliplane contract.

Thought it might be given the price.

Their kits have improved. I have all 3 of their IAR 80 family boxings and they are nice  :thumbsup:

That PA-47 looks like a cartoon of itself!  :o

The Wooksta!

I want them to do that canard pusher prop bizliner that popped up in an episode of Airwolf.

That's the one.

Hmmmn. The online three view doesn't match with the photos of the real thing.  I had a brief flirtation with scratchbodging it starting with a 48th Learjet.

The 3-view on the AVTEK site is the finalized design rather than the POC (proof of concept)
aircraft used in Airwolf.

There's a 3-view of the POC in this article from Flight, 11 June 1983:

And this is what happens when you assemble your Piper Navajo - but misplaced the instructions!  :wacko:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
