I've only happened to know of this wonderfully weird aircraft a few weeks ago and I've downloaded photos and every piece of information I could find of it, thinking I might sometime try scratch building it.
Looks like I have to be careful with what I'm thinking...
Thank you for the good news Brez, and thanks to Avis for this kit.
This must be the most obscure WWI plane ever to be produced in injection moulded styrene.

So that’s where those egg models origin. Looks like a flying dumpling.

Back in the 90s when I made 1/48 models, I recall a short run resin kit of this obscure aeroplane. I can't remember who made it, probably one of the cottage industries. I built a few oddities - Port Grain Kitten, D28 Flow, AH Helicopter - but never fancied this type very much.

The kit is now available on Ebay and it looks decent.

There are 3 versions, differing in the prop and serial numbers.

Wow!  And there are folks that say 1/72nd scale is dead. Who ever thought we'd see this in injected styrene?

AviS has been doing some truly oddball stuff, which gives me hope for some of my faves to appear!

Never heard of this pusher before . As ugly as it is , it is an interesting subject . Perhaps haps one of the first ture egg planes .
