Yes there is.
I have always wanted to do the Spit project but went in other directions.
I have been working on full builds for at least 3 years along with health issue and hurricane damage I got totally burnt out.
The most fun for me is making the prototypes and I have not made any in 3 years.
So now I have put a hold on everything and am making the prototypes of my pet projects.
Oswind---------proto done
Ersatz M-10----proto 99.99 % done
Sturmtiger-----will start today or tomorrow
My next aircraft project will be the Nam Cobra I have a roughed in 3-D printed shell already and waiting to go.
Then possibly The P-39 . I was turned over a P-39 already started by a forum member and that has been waiting for 3 years to start.
With all these projects I think that this year is booked up already.
Maybe next year.

Yes! The P-39 Airacobra gives us our first Russian WWII fighter finally! They did very well in this plane. My all time Russian favorite though is the Yak-9. So badly wish someone was interested in making that one. It was the best Russian fighter they produced.

My favorite Russian plane of WW2 was the Mig -3
The second has to be the Stormavic.

as an aside, the Russians used P-40B's in significant numbers early in the war. A repaint of a 21st Flying Tigers would be the easiest, but any would act as a good base for repainting.
