I have a few as well. Still finishing up my metal jig project. Have some stainless fasteners and such on order and all the small parts are made. Have to finish up a dozen 10 and 11 inch long rails that need to have the second end squared off yet and the lengths made the same between the 2 batches. Then they all need 2 holes each to mount them.
Then there are eight mounting plates with a bunch of slots that I still have to make. Two types, one for the wing supports, and a second type for the fuselage vertical centering holders. While my small mill does a good job and is fairly accurate, it can't handle very heavy cuts so it ends up being done in several passes. Making a lot of aluminum "glitter" which has been a challenge to keep under control. Stuff tends to track everywhere.
When done I should be able to jig up anything with 1 or 2 main wings up to the WNW Felix Stowe or Gotha. I should also be able to jig up my 1/32 HPH PBY Catalina.
Hopefully it will only take about another week or so.
Yes, I know....

But can't really show what I have been making and how it all will work together until it is finished.
As to a Revellogram kit, I have several, just don't know when I can think about starting a new build.
