Good luck at TG.

Jan,

It's a BVM kit that was based on the original design by Franz Walti who won the 4th Jet World Masters with it back in 2001. It was offered by BVM as either a twin or single turbine. Although highly prefabricated for it's day, it still required a fair amount of building and finishing and not that many were ever sold. BVM discontinued it several years ago.

Shame, since it is one of the best designed and best flying scale military jets I have seen.
