there's a bad and a good news.

the bad one:
in my LHS there are only airfix and, as many of you might know, the have raised panel lines. this will be a hard obstacle if the "only engraved panel lines" rule still goes.

The good one:
my mother will be flying to santiago at the end of the month, so i can request the plane there, but surely this will mean the shipment could arrive later.

i'll be doing all the possible to make it arrives at time.

and please, dont suggest me to send it through an internet hobby shop, as i cant do that right now.

No rules about engraved panel lines at all..... Airfix kits can be built into great kits too! Don't sweat it- I'm sure your recipient will be happy with whatever you get- remember- it's more about getting to know people than about the kits! Smile [:)]

Please don't get me worng, if someone does send me a kit with raised panel lines, that's cool np at all. Heck, I would even take a Czech Model if that's all you could get.

I will be HAPPY with anything Big Smile [:D]

Sturz.. since your mom is comming up here, she could just mail it while she is here. It would save on any duty charges being brought back to you, and likely save huge on shipping charges. If she did that for you it would almost certainly arrive on time and cost alot less in the long run.  Just a thought.

That sounds great everyone! That's what it's all about- giving a gift to a new (or old) friend, and letting them know a little about you. It's a great way to get to know the folks on this forum in a way that we normally wouldn't do.

Thanks to all of you for jumping on-board with this and really getting behind it!

I for one am really excited for this GB. I've been thinking all week about what I want to include in my "Santa-ee's" package. I pretty much know what kit I'm getting for him, so I think I'm going to make an "All about me" type deal. What about you guys? What else is going to your "Santa-ee"?

No, no. It's not that I'm getting rid of mine, It's I don't want another. And one I have to build quickly!. Yes, six months is a decient time, but not for me on a kit like that. It took a year for me to build my monogram A-10, so that would take longer for sure.

But I take you are asking your Santa for one. I can arrange thatMischief [:-,]

Or great, there goes the gifts!
