I can already see the leading thread on Dec. 25: "Spouse didn't appreciate my Christmas gift and I have no idea why."
FTer: This is the coolest Christmas gift ever.
non-FT spouse: Why did I get a piece of scrap metal?

Later - there sort of might be, but not if you click on "Checkout" - need to click on Pay Pal credit instead and scroll right down to the bottom to find the CC option- then it would not accept my email because it was already associated with a Paypal account, so used another one - and then Google told me that the website was unsafe and refused to proceed with the transaction. Enough!
Well it was not enough, so I tried to use IE, which ended up with the same website alert and gave the impression the transaction had not gone through, then I received an immediate fraud alert from Amex - turns out that the first transaction had gone through as well as the second. Now in the process of cancelling one of the two orders.
Not sure where the problem lies - Paypal or Plane Tags, but what a fiasco.

Received mine today. It's actually a lot bigger than I expected. It's pretty nice! It has the white paint from the previous AC livery on the front and the green anti corrosion coating on the back.
