Why don't you do like I did last year?
I live in Italy, but I got my recipient's gift at Squadron's in the US and had it sent to him paying only US domestic shipping.

Will they still do that? These days with internet credit card fraud as rampant as it is, most merchants online won't ship except to the address associated with the credit card.

As far as I know, they still do that: it's a "gift" option. You have the merchandise billed to your address and the items sent to another one.

I don't see the risk of frauds in that. 

BTW Italian government has decided to anticipate Christmas from this year on, in order not to have Christmas and the new year's festivities too close together. The new date for X-Mas is ... 
AS SOON AS I GET MY PACKET!!!! Big Smile [:D]

My stash security lies in dispersal and camouflage.  My 87 year old mother-in -law guards the door at one secret location, though.  Don't mess with her!  You might end up on The Price is Right!

Hey Troy, if I get you again this year I am going to send you a B-17 or Lancaster with all the resin and PE that can be found for it. Then we will see who finishes first this year. By the way, technically dont you owe us a Typhoon for last year, hahahahaha.

I did finish my C-47 from last year a few months ago but I am working on the figures and placing it in a dio, so I have not posted finished pics yet.

Steve

Steve, you are right! The kit is still in the stash and I've been kicking the idea around of building it next. Since I just finished a build and need a new project I think that one will be just right. And I'll get it done before this years SSGB too!Wink [;)]

Now about that bomber.....Laugh [(-D]

I agree with the family rule, if she was my SS I would get a box with a note in it saying "you dont need another kit you have not finished the kits you have"

Alright LastPriest and of course it would be great if your wife gets in onit too. Of course there would have to be a family rule that you cant get each other as your secret santa. I am sure you guy's probably exchange models with each other also. Make sure you PM your info to Jon.
