I just thought I would show you that I have a wife that supports my hobby. She went to some garage sales this past weekend and picked up these two kits for me.
She got both kits for only $16.00 plus the M21 kit came with an Eduard photo etch detail set as well. Both kits were opened but all of the parts are still bagged plus they also have the instruction and decal sheets.
So needless to say she has my permission to continue going to garage sales!!
Just thought I would share.
Thanks,
HARV

My girlfriend got me both of my Mig-21s... She's very patient with me. She also claimed herself a burned-out Jeep I made which made me proud (her intention I think). But I envy you for your garage sales. Here it's a desert for modelers.

Fully agree, HARV you have a keeper. Any chance your wife might like to come to Australia and present a series of tutorial seminars to select groups of women here. I would be happy to put at least one woman forward for attendance !

Thanks for the replies guys, my wife enjoyed them also. It is nice having a wife that knows your interests and helps you out with your hobby.
Damain,
I am sure that she would love to come to Australia, I know I would. You might be onto something here. Maybe I could get her to travel the globe and teach wives and significant others that they should fully support our hobby and encourage our various pursuits with it!!
Thanks again,
HARV

My Mother-In-Law tells my wife, "Better he's at home fondling plastic models than at some bar fondling young blonde models!"

My wife tells me I can yard sale and window shop all I want, BUTT, under no circumstances can I turn the package over to inspect the back side.
