It's funny, my wife just asked me what I wanted for Xmas about 1/2 hour ago. I usually give her a list of about 5 or 6 things that I would like to have and tell her to pick one or two. But, she usually either gets all of them, picks something out of all the catalogs I have that she caught me looking intently at. About 5 years ago, she got me a small lathe that I kept looking at in the Micro Mark catalog. Was not expecting that.

I think I'll keep her.

No wife, only a cat and she don't give a rip what I do.  The only thing that complains is my wallet.  On Birthdays and Christmas I make the list, give it to myself and buy the kits I want.  

Nothing ever fits……..and when it does, its the wrong scale.

To make mistakes is human.  To blame it on someone else shows management potential.

You're lucky. My wife has never bought me anything hobby related for birthdays, Christmas, gifts. etc.

Model kits for Christmas
Posted by BlackSheepTwoOneFour on Monday, November 25, 2013 5:36 PM

So my wife wants to know what model kit I want for Christmas. With so many models to choose from my long list, I narrowed it down to three for her to choose from. They are:

1/48 scale Typhoon Mk.Ib (Hasegawa)

http://hasegawausa.com/product-pages/hsgs9059.html

 

1/48 scale Kawasaki Ki45Kai Tei Toryu Nick (Hasegawa)

http://hasegawausa.com/product-pages/hsgs9095.html

The crazy striping should be an easy do. :)

 

1/48 scale De Havilland Mosquito FB-Mk,VI (Tamiya)

http://www.tamiyausa.com/items/plastic-model-series-20/1-48-scale-aircraft-20000/de-havilland-mosquito-fb-mk-6-61062

I'll do the markings this aircraft was involved in Operation Jericho during WW2.

I'm heading to my LHS to place the order on all 3. Whatever she picked, I'll get the other two with my Christmas money. LOL!
