Count me in. Sounds great. My Dad flew home to Pennsylvania from England aboard a P-61 in '45. Not bad, a Boatswain's Mate bumping a Captain huh? I loved to hear him tell that one.

Getting a kit you already have is actually cool, because then you can do a different camo scheme, unit markings etc.  I would love that!

Jon, every time someone joins, you say welcome aboard. For some unknown reason, I think of a pirate when I read this. So I had to vizualize it. Hope you find it humorous! Yarr!!! Welcome aboard, Matey!!

Can you say...WAY too much time on thier hands!!!!

But funny none the less.

Well them they have 2 of the same, BUT he/she can always do them in a diffrent camo

i found it homorous!

and jwb: i think the wish list is to facilitate the sender's search for a kit, and to make sure it will like to the receiver

I think the fun part of this will be focusing on the giving aspect, rather than the getting. I think folks will see the fun involved in picking out a really unique kit for their recipient will be very rewarding!

You just said a mouth full 

That's what I am looking for.

I want to hear about the kit I will be giving and how much someone will enjoy building it.......

deal me in! im in! do the wish list thing goes?

As for my problem I had the following idea:

I could buy something on a US on-line store and have it sent to "my chosen one" and bill it on my credit card. This should cut the shipping and the handling risks. Hopefully!
My "Secret Santa" could do the same: I can give him (through you, jwb) the name of a good Italian on-line store with an English language section. He could have the model shipped to me and billed on his card.

D'OH! Reread some posts and saw you already proposed something like that!

This sounds like a fun idea.   Add me to the list.  If nothing else, it will give my wife and daughter a good laugh on Christmas morning!

Sturzkampf, I don't know how old you are but here are 2 things you might want to ask them too.

1. Have it sent it a P.O.Box

2. Have it sent to there work.

I know with my kids I would rather have it send to one of them then to my house in this day an age.

Just my
