No it is made (glasswork) in Thailand at a new Factory.
The same company produces the BVM Prop planes that are quite nice.
The prefabrication on the Bandit ARF is really thorough. The nose gear bulkheads are glued in as it comes to the customer.
The mounting ring for the bottom access hatch is preinstalled too.
There a three bulkheads that you glue in, A former at the front edge of the Inlets, A former just aft of the wing to provide structure to the fuse and a tailpipe support former at the rear. The quality of the Bandit ARF is much nicer than the BobCat or Kingcat produced prior to this.
