Thanks, and yes, the Cutie will be at the 2010 Convention (and hopefully a few other new builds by then too). The later FG models are very good designs in of themselves, and I usually like to add modifications to suit my taste. This one just called for the open door and interior details. I'm happy with how the P-39 came out - a testimony to the quality of the basic FG design in the first place. I just added some "paper sculpting" as Chip calls it, to enhance the design to my desire of creating a realistic looking model. Other modelers may have different objectives - and that's great. It's all very personal and adding that personal touch is the great part of making models. For me it's a constant learning and skill building process. I just wish I discovered paper modeling decades ago - it is such a perfect hobby for me!
