Updating the old Monogram B-58 (1:48): part 1. tail gun in 3D
Hi everyone!
The Hustler is one of my favourite airplane. Beautiful, menacing and a real symbol of the meaninless of the cold war. The Monogram kit is really old but still the best B-58 and I don't think that someone come out a new one in [...]
1991 Desert Storm Air War. 30 Years ago today. Monogram 1/48 F-117 “High Tech” kit Toxic Avenger
Hard to believe this event happened 30 years ago... but it did. Time sure flies, and it flies by even quicker the older you get.
30 years ago today I was in the US Army recruiter’s office filling out paperwork trying to get back [...]
My 2020 builds…

Martian War Machine, 1953. 1/48 Pegasus, imodeler at the movies.
This is Pegasus's Martian War Machine 1/48, from the 1953 movie War of the Worlds. A very simple kit to build, I included a bit of a diorama also. If I had the skill set would have wired the machined. David Leigh-Smith started this group [...]

This is a conversion of the Monogram F4B-4 kit which back-dates it to the earlier F4B-1 using the RareBits vacuform fuselage and a Radial Engines & Wheels resin Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp radial engine. Not overly difficult and [...]
Monogram Boeing F4B-4
A pair of the venerable Monogram Boeing F4B-4 kits, first released in 1968. This is one of the easiest biplane kits to build, the landing gear legs and fuselage struts are molded as part of the fuselage halves with results in a strong [...]
Monogram 1/48 AD-6 backdated to an AD-3 of VMA 212 in Korea
This started out as OOB build using kit decals. Unfortunately they were toast and did not cooperate when being applied. I used Euro decals for the Skyraider and they were excellent. I scratchbuilt the early AERO bomb racks then added [...]
