Hawker Typhoon Mk IB 1/48
I have no idea just how old this kit is; I know it was issued in the early 1970s at least. So, it won't have the features found on today's great models. But, perhaps we can see how much improvement manufacturers have made since then? [...]
Monogram 1/48 TBD-1 Devastator – USS Enterprise
This build has been a long time in coming!
A few years ago now Louis Gardner @lgardner organised a Group Build to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway.
This build was to be my main contribution to that group build, [...]
Monogram 1/48 T-6 Texan-Korean War
"Patches" is another in a continuing series of Korean War Era builds. This is one of the original Monogram kits issued in the late '70s. I only added harnesses to the cockpit. Paint is Model Master Faded OD over Neutral Gray. [...]
1/48 Monogram AT-6 Texan [FAD]
Monogram AT-6 Texan [FAD]
Fuerza Aerea Dominicana, Escuadrón Caza Ramfis, circa 1958
For this kit, I rescribed and riveted the whole fuselage, painted metallic paint with Vallejo acrylic metal color aluminum, the yellow wings mission [...]
1978 Monogram ME-262 Revisited
This was my 7th and last build for 2020. This kit's box and instruction sheet had a copyright date of 1978. The decals were in poor condition and not useable. Fortunately I had some decals from an Italeri kit. It was built out of the box [...]
Me-163 Komet
Built back around 1989, (ex-Hawk kit, first produced in 1960 I believe) my Testors version was issued in 1982. The aircraft is the well-known rocket-powered interceptor, the Me163 Komet, in 1/48 scale. This kit had only about 25 [...]
General Dynamics YF-16, Monogram 1/48
Well, this is another kit I had in my childhood that did not get built to my expectations back then. Lofty goals, but scotch tape and rattle cans combined with heavy handed paint application (at least as a kid I didn't have to spray the [...]
Bf-110G-2 ZG1, "Skeletal Hand" Revell 1/48th Scale
I have always liked the Bf-110, it just has very pleasing lines to me. While it proved a general failure as a heavy escort, it still proved to be a formidable foe in other roles. I have built this kit before under a different boxing, and [...]
Monogram/Encore 1/48 F-102A "Case XX" wing. 196th FIS California ANG
History:
What became the F-102 marked a major change in design and development of fighters. It was the result of a recommendation made on October 8,1948, by the Air Force Senior Officers Board that the service organize a competition for a [...]
Monogram/Revell F-101
Next up on my model desk is the Monogram/Revell F-101B (1/48). I have been wanting to build it to go with the RF-101C in my office. I have seen that many of you have built it on the site here and their are many talented modelers out there, [...]
