Hi Gang....
Today we visited the Lier Modelling Convention, and after strolling around, admiring the models and dio's, talking to some people, and drinking a beer, my wife said: Let's check out the vendors!!
I was surprised, since she supports my hobby, she's not too much interested in buying kits, and AM stuff!!
To make a long story a bit shorter, she got me a Mörser Karl initial version, from Trumpeter!!! Kit nbr.00208....
The only thing she said was: Merry Christmas....
(:-)
I'm one happy guy!!
Wanted to share this....John.

Good luck to you John! Having your wife interested in your hobby is good - keep her happy!
When we go to a model show my wife looks for kits for me I've 'found' some real bargains that way!

Hi, My wife gave me permission to buy a Morser Karl for myself. That's almost as good as getting one for Xmas. And this way I also got to start on it a couple of weeks early.
You guys are most definitely going to enjoy this one!!!!!!!
Take care, Sgirty
