Yes, this GB is a great idea!

I proposed it in other sections of this forum but it didn't have as much response as here. Strange.

Edit:

Ordered the aircraft a few minutes ago and will send a card with greetings and personal info in the nexr days.

FYI - Hobby Lobby has a 40% internet coupon on anything in the store.  You could easily trick the wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/husband in thinking you only bought one item.  Evil [}:)]

Agree on that!

BTW My order got billed so it should be away and get to my recipient in the next days.
How about posting here when we receive our gift, just to make sure it arrived at destination.

Got the kit wrapped and ready for the mail today.  I added today's newspaper from my town to show him where i live.  Along with some photos of the family.  Hope he enjoys it all.  He can read the paper while he waits for X-mas Smile [:)]  Good Idea Avus.  Nothing worse then wondering if the postal gods decieded to send your package to Antartica

This secret santa has sent his mystery package out!  I included a little info about me and a "little something extra" (stocking stuffer?)

I say we put a "Heat Miser" hex Evil [}:)] on the Group Build for anyone that can't wait for Christmas to open their gift. Ashamed [*^_^*]  The hex will cause the model to self-combust and all you get is a pile of melted plastic that has no resemblance to the actual kit. My 2 cents [2c]

Had a great time shopping at the hobby store the other day.  I ended up getting a kit for myself also.  Going to wrap it up this weekend, and send it out early next week.  Hope my recepient likes it.
