1/35 scale GAF drone system kit. Includes 3D printed parts, brass rods for assembly, display stand, full-colour assembly guide and comprehensive decal sheet\

Alas, no.

Apparently, they're in Richmond, NSW ... although I note that Hobartville is a suburb of Richmond.

Looks pretty interesting.
Should we tell them they have flying pics but no one is in the cockpit?

Hobart, Indiana, USA is where my club has its annual swapmeet and contest.

I suppose you have to train drone pilots somehow.  ;)
