Nice pick up! I always like it when others buy me models, normally because they seem to pick ones I'd normally skip over, either due to cost, complexity or outside my normal build scope, but, I generally appreciate them so much more than the ones nought for myself.
Have fun with that build! Be sure to build ASAP, otherwise, much like budgets, if you don't use it before next year, your wife might assume you don't need another ;)
