Hi, I'm Rob and I have a Monogram problem....

So I suspect we all have a favorite manufacturer, for me it is Monogram, especially the mid 70s to early 80s Monogram aircraft kits. Though the 1960s classics are also wonderful. they are not the best kits, but I still love building [...]

2017 build plan

So, taking a leaf from Greg's book - I have decided to commit to a model plan. I think it's an interesting idea to set out what you hope to do and see where you get to at the end of the year. It works generally in life so it should work in [...]

Tamiya, 1:48 scale F4F-4 "Wildcat"

Another kit I finished this weekend... I'm sure we all have built this model at one time or another, maybe even more than once as in my case. So, I will not go through the kit details, but suffice to say, it's a Tamiya kit, and it builds [...]

A beautiful little model by Fine Molds, is this A5M4 Type 96, in 1:48 scale. It has very nice detail in the cockpit and engine, and the surface detail on the exterior is excellent, especially on the wings. The model builds well, with NO [...]
