Double argh...;-) Hey, since you got to chose the next contest, why
not something like - oh, I don't know - WW1 monoplanes? Or
triplanes? Or WW1 *anything*? Hey, if you did that, then you
wouldn't have to build and correct the Monogram Fokker D.VII from
1/46th to 1/48th!!! :-) Gads, another 109...

I have also taken a vow never to rag another person on building a 109
- oops, looks like I slipped...

Ok, spilling the beans: I'm working on (in order):
1/72nd Pegasus F9C-2 Sparrowhawk
1/72nd Airfix O-1 Bird Dog
1/72nd Pegasus Roland D.II
1/72nd ESCI Nieuport 17 conversion into a Nie.11
1/72nd Fujimi UH-1N Iroquois
1/72nd Formaplane Halberstadt Cl.II
1/72nd Pegasus LVG C.VI
So, that's what, 60% WW1?
Note: above should be read TFPIC!!!
