So, you use two kits to bash together a biplane, and that leaves you with a spare fuselage and all its fittings.

What to do, what to do... Autogyro!

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! :)

Recommendation, if I may, use the winglets that attach to the spats, and mount them on the upper fuselage.

Beautiful idea. The Lysander it's a natural for a autogyro, now that you have shown the way.

Already too far along in the assembly to do much along those lines. Maybe if I get ambitious in the next couple of days...
