Models I had to work at
The Spitfires I posted were modern well-detailed kits that fit together nicely. So I decided to post some of my more trying kits this time.
FM-2- This is the Sword kit. Thank god for spares boxes. This kit decided to fight me from the [...]
Monogram B-52C
I built this kit in 1980 as a camouflaged Vietnam aircraft, then decided to re-paint as the C model included on the old microscale sheet about ten years ago. Well recently it lost a few wheels so decided to repair it, picked it up and [...]
Hells Bells
This is the Monogram 1/48 P-39 . First released in 1969, this example is from a 1989 dated box. The kit provides decal options for 4 different P-39s , one Russian and Three American. I chose the P-400 version, which is [...]
Hawker Typhoon FR Mk.1B

1/48 F-86K Sabre Dog
This is the "MustHave!" models F-86K. Basically "MustHave!" models took the complete 1/48 Revell/Monogram F-86D Sabre Dog kit and simply added a completely new tooled "F-86K" fuselage. They also added a [...]
1/48 Monogram P-39D Airacobra
Hello,
For my first post, I propose you the old but nice model of the P-39 from Monogram. The cockpit layout is mostly handmade. I also used Eduard photoetch for the landing gear. The decoration comes from an Aeromaster decal sheet that I [...]
