[The Wooksta!]

I've been keeping an eye on it's progress in a related thread on Britmodeller.

The sprue shots and test build look promising.

Toying with a licence built version with De Havilland engines. Although on reflection, Pobjoy radials would look nicer.

Are we sure Tophe didn't have a hand in its design?

Geared Niagara's in the bright finish cowling face and ring would look the business. 

[The Wooksta!]

I've a feeling I've a set of resin ones in the Azur GA Monospar that may just have to be remoulded...

[chrisonord]

That looks really cute, could be a possible purchase simply because it's so different. Hmm....contra turbo props..

One pusher Merlin at the rear of the central pod?

Gipsy Twelve.

I just feel cheated every time I see this because it hasn't got rotors. If "gyro" is in the name it needs rotors!

[king of men]

A completely absurd design that I have never heard of before. Therefore, I must own one as soon as it becomes available!

I've had their Audax kit for some time now (my Dad's fave aeroplane.....) and it's pretty good. No idea how well it goes together though as not an atom of glue has touched its pristine surfaces so far.

[NARSES2]

When I saw that Bristol Racer on Hannants new releases pages I immediately though of some 1950's British kids T.V. characters, but I'll be blowed if I can remember which ones ?

I've built one of their 109's (and have a couple more). You need to take your time and test fit a lot, but they are fine.

[Mossie]

Those Shorts machines could be interesting with more power.  I might be tempted by a MiG-8.

Sorry I discover this topic only today. I have a few data about this family (Shelton Flying Wing/Gyroplane/AG-4, AG-6, AG-7). Mainly from JAWA 1935 and 1936.
