Sometimes it is nice for the modder to know that people are eagerly awaiting his creation ... it may give him some encouragement, knowing that his work is already so appreciated, even before it is finished ... I don't think a modder is immune to some adulation for his work in progress ...
And you have to admit that this aircraft is really something different looking ... not the umpteenth 109 of Spitfire, but a very nice and intriguing looking, somewhat obscure French plane ...
