mitsdude - your comment reminds me of something that happened to me back when I was a kid growing upo in the 70s. I asked my grandpa I wanted Thunderbolt. What did he do? He went out and bought me a P-47 Thunderbolt modle kit when I actually meant I wanted the toy horse named Thunderbolt from the Johnny West collection. For those that don't know what I'm talking about, this is Thnderbolt:

Back then, I had General Custer, Geronimo. Johnny West, Fighting Eagle (Mohawk Indian) Captain Tom Maddox (Union Soldier) while my sister had Jane West, Storm Cloud (the Pinto Horse). Now I wished I still had them. Wonder how much they would be worth now? LOL!
A little update. Yesterday, stopped by the LHS where I placed my order of my kits. I was told two of the 3 kits are coming in possibly today or tomorrow. They are: De Havilland Mosquito, and the Hawker Typhoon. The Japanese bomber he has to find elsewhere. I told him don't worry about it. I'm good with what's coming in. LOL!
