Just a follow-up to the other thread about Christmas/holiday gifts...what have you asked for, or would you ask for if you could, for a holiday gift? I know we are not all Christmas celebrators here, so for whatever holiday you celebrate, what models (or other related stuff) would you like to receive?

Thought I’d give you guys a heads-up … Chicago Airbrush Supply is having a “Countdown to Christmas Sale!” I’ve been thinking about pulling the trigger on this one — literally!
Since I’ve been very good this year, and this doesn't increase my kit/figure stash, I think I’m allowed … right??? 🤔

If I would not have any kits in the stash I would ask for the AFV Club Bussing Nag with crane. Or Trumpeter's Scud A.
But it is not the case. Anyway I am not one of the worst cases and hope to finish all what I have in three to five years... By then I trust Trumpeter will have released the Ganef which will be on top of my list

Well just preordered my T29e3 by Takom. My deal is I pretty much have all i want in armor kits that is available. How about what kits I would like to see come out. Sorry the preponderance is ships. The t29 series was the last armor i have been craving seeing how Takkom also doing the t30/34. Maybe a t32 and a 35th scale Saracan armored car. Ships 1/350 cage mast battleship, Nelson, Baltimore and Cleveland class cruisers and finally a 1/48 B66 bomber. I have 120 kits in the stash and am on a building hiatus as i plan on moving in near future and dont want to see anything more thatn i have to get messed up doing that

Oh thank you Johnny. Yes yes yes an M728 CEV I used a resin conversion kit to make one, but would love to get an actual kit. This reminded me of one thing lacking in the M60 series line up. An AVLB. I found teh 1/40 scale revell M48 version ( gotta have something to fill in teh gap) but a full fledged 35th scale M60 HULL VERSION....OH LA LA
So I guess I still need some armor afterall....not counting the trumpeter 1/16 KT on my wishlist with all the on line hobby stores

What I really need is one of those Twilight Zone 'time stopper' watches (and a spare pair of glasses, just in case).
Probably ought to pick up a case of hair color so when I go grey(er) from all the time I spent with everyone else on 'pause' I can hide it for a bit.
Probably ought to get a 5-6 display cases too.

I'd be perfectly happy if i recieved my pre-ordered T29E3 from Takom by Christmas. But i don't think that's very likely
