Nice looking model. Years ago I built and flew an RC model aircraft of this plane...dang that model aircraft was fast!  After seeing this model of yours I would like to find a kit and built it for old memories sake. ?

Available on eBay but might not be cheap as the original owner died and I am not sure if another company is reissuing the kits!

The company was bought by a guy in Round Rock, Texas. He reissued some kits. I bought several racers and engines. That has been several years ago. I don’t know if any more were reissued.

https://www.wmbros.com/  Last update is in 2020 and their store shows they are still in a soft shutdown (probably since 2020).  Doesn't look good. I wanted to order some of their rotary radial engine kits, but who knows if they will ever open up again.

I agree with others - that is a nicely done model Phillip.

Meant to say "radial"

Thank you! sorry to hear that the company is in trouble.

This magazine has an article by Bob Steinbrunn on detailing a Williams Brothers 1/8 scale engine. It’s a radial, not a rotary, but a cool article nonetheless. I believe he had an article on a rotary, also. He even built a display stand that looks like one that would hold a real engine in a museum.

I found my copy of the January 1991 FSM. It was a pretty good article. I like that he included building a display stand. Here are a few pics.
