I've been looking at the very same thing and have found there really aren't many options available for kit-builders. I've considered copying the Venus II and building one from scratch, making a few changes along the way (two piece wing placed a bit higher on the fuse, symmetrical & removeable stab). This could allow someone to build their own yet still use readily available cowls and canopies...
If I could get my hands on a VII that's damaged or worn-out I would certainly try and build one myself...

There are new planes being built by dreadnaut and alex vociu in this size range so I'm very interested in seeing how they perform when completed.
