Yep, Byron sold the moulds to IronBay, as skypup mentions their kit selection currently is somewhat limited... Its a pitty as with all the smaller turbines now becoming more affordible and popular the old Byron line eg. F-16, Mig 15, A4, Kfir, T-33 etc. could have had a new lease on life with some minor mods...

Just my 2c worth but, I would suggest checking out the newer companies such as Composite ARF (Mig 15, Eurosport, ROO). Cermark (Viperjet, MB339) and Skymaster models if you are into ARF jets. Skymaster produce an impressive F15, F-18 and SAAB Grippen that are amazing value by current standards... http://www.skymasterjet.com/
Yellow Aircraft also do some smaller ARF jets for either D/F or turbine power http://www.yellowaircraft.com/
