Would be nice to see the neat little Bird Dog if you find the time - and bench space (!) - to do it Charles.

Man. Look at everyone starting already and I'm still on camp. Home in the A.M but still waiting for my Spitty to arrive. I'll visit everyone's builds in the morning.

I"m in the same position, still got the P47 on the bench and will be for several weeks yet unless I can fit some more time in. I still intend to enter the 'Storch' ( I might put up the start of the thread soon even later today) unsure of category yet but fingers crossed it will be there we've got till the end of May to complete so hopefully should be ok.
