Chris,
Yes indeed, you have it made, she's a keeper!
My wife doesn't make models, but she's painted the stars on a Stuart and driven a few tanks and half tracks, so that's pretty cool too, eh?
Wants to model a BIG tank? The Tiger would be great, but it's beyond my price range... How 'bout finding a 1/25 scale Tamiya Centurion with a complete interior on evilbay or in a hobby shop, I think it's OOP, but who knows. I tend to lose track of that stuff. Also, might be able to pick up the old Tamiya Tiger I (again with an interior). If she gets the Centurion, then that's a good excuse to go to a museum for some research, Knox has a NICE one.
So, enjoy a wife who likes to glue stuff together and have fun!!!
You got it made in d'shade!
Ron.
