Special Theme.........: What's In A Name?

What's in a Name - Special Theme Guidelines - Any model, any scale, any era. The only catch is that your model must have a subject with the same name in a different genre. Examples would be a 1/48 P-51 Mustang by Tamiya or a Revell 1/24 1967 Mustang GT; a Monogram 1/48 Hawker Typhoon or a 1/350 Hobby Boss Typhoon Russian submarine; or a Hobby Boss 1/35 IDF Puma APC or a Matchbox 1/32 Puma helicopter. You only need to build one kit but must name the alternate on your table tag.
