A Monogram P-51D
Proof you don't have to have the latest kit to get a nice model, if you're willing to put in the work. About 15 years ago, a friend gave me a bunch of old kits that he figured were good for spare parts. Among them was this kit, which I [...]
Modeling time capsules, unboxing a classic Monogram kit
I have a thing for Monogram kits. Not just the nostalgia, which there is a great deal for me, but because they are still decent kits at a good price. I frequent a local hobby shop here in Seattle called Skyway Models. Emil the owner has [...]
Revell 1:48 F-8E MiG Killer
Known as the Fighting Checkmates and as the MiG Killers, with seven confirmed kills and one probable, including both the first and the last F-8 kill. VF-211 was second in MiG kills only to VF-96's F-4 Phantoms. Not a bad kit over all. I [...]
Devastation continues in the cockpit…and apparently Kate will be here for Christmas….
Ok, maybe that was a stretch...nah...As I continued on my Monogram Devastator my Hasegawa Kate kept calling me from my stash, so I decided to do a dual build with both being Coral Sea birds. I will need to modify a 1/48 torp I have for [...]

1/48 Monogram / ProModeler B-24 D Liberator “Teggie Ann”
Here's another one of my older builds. I am definitely going to have to build a photo light box... This plane is too big for my current setup, so the quality of photographs are not up to par... She has some hangar rash and is missing a [...]
1/48 Revell / Monogram Spitfire Mk.II
Inspired by Dimitry's beautiful 1/72 Airfix Mk1 early Spitfire, I decided to post up one of mine...
Here's another "oldie" that I built many years ago. It's nothing fancy, but it is a Spitfire, and that's what matters...
These [...]
Next up an old friend The Monogram TBD
I built this kit as a teen, my late brother was always good about getting me a kit for my birthday and I still remember getting this one when it was the hot new Monogram pressing. A while back I found an original 1974 issue of the kit. [...]
Monogram F9F-5 and F9F-5P Panthers
Monogram's Panther first appeared in 1990, the first 1/48 F9F in close to 35-40 years past the Aurora and Hawk kits. At the time, it was the best and most accurate kit of the Panther, and it is still the most accurate (and in my mind, the [...]
A Gooney Bird tale – Douglas C-47B – Monogram 1/48
When I got back into plastic modeling a few years ago, I set a couple of goals for the projects I would do. The first was to model subjects I had never done before, which has proven to be successful as I have yet to build a Mustang. The [...]
