Has there ever been a BAe Replica kit?

So has there ever been a kit of the BAe Replica in 1/72?  I could have sworn that Unicraft had offered it up on their wishlist at some point.  I think I can get the approximate shape but I don't have the skills to make it look more refined.

I haven't seen one. Apparently the one mockup that was built is still being used at BAE Warton and very little information is available.

I doubt there's any accurate information, but an approximation could be made with shape, size etc.

I didn't realize the mockup was still in use - I thought the program was cancelled to make way for UAVs.

AFAIK it was only ever meant to be an experimental program to study low observable tech. A key part of getting Tier 1 status on the F-35 I believe.
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

It looks as if an F-23 kit would be a good starting point perhaps? Somewhere I've got one lurking about...........  ;)
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! :)
