Last year for my birthday I got the Revell Germany '69 Camaro Z/28 RS. I never asked for it, but my daughter (6 years of age now 5 then) convinced my wife to buy me a model Camaro. They know my passion for Camaro's and know that I'd like to build way more than I do. Some tot the hobby shop they went and bought the kit.
It was the best gift EVER! And/because I didn't even ask!
She told me how she wanted me to build it (just like on the box) and now it's almost finished!
I won't ask for a kit myself, because of course the wishes are quite specific and the hobby market in Holland isn't very big, so I buy most online (after lots of research...). I cant't ask that for anyone not into my hobby...
