Lone Wulf Models (http://lonewulfmodels.co.uk/) usually has a small stand. If you're after something specific, contact them before the show to make sure they bring what you want.

The Wooksta!

Interesting is not the word I'd use.  Overpriced, badly cast, almost unusable lumps of resin.  Basically, save your pennies and scratchbuild, because you have to do a lot of that anyway with Unicrap's garbage.

I have only ever bought one of their kits, 1/72 Lockheed YO-3A.
I can only fully endorse the Wooksta's comments. I do not think there is a single piece in it that can be used without a huge amount of remedial work being done.
It is very sad as their list of subjects is so very interesting.

I've built a fair few and they range from buildable with a lot of effort to plain  :banghead: Plus there's always the unidentifiable piece

As long as you don't want an instant finish and walk into it with your eyes open then best of luck to you. They do have some really interesting kits
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I have built 29 Unicraft kits (25 finished models but 4 zwilling invented by myself), and I am very happy with them.
(But my result quality standards are lower than most of "serious" modellers, including what-ifers)
Scratch builders can do marvels with them as a basis but this is a different story. As far as I am concerned I enjoy transforming a raw basis into the airplane I dreamed of.
