Dagger!
Monogram's venerable F-102 Delta Dagger. I was able to pick up an original boxing from my local hobby shop and the fit was actually quite good. A few spots were the canopy fit and missile bay door fit if you want them closed. The [...]

Monogram 1/48 P-39 Airacobra 2Lt William F. Fiedler 347th FG 68 & 70FS
In my stash were some P-39 decals depicting an Airacobra flown by a 2Lt Bill Fiedler, who had the distinction of being the only American Ace to claim all 5 victories flying the P-39. Being a history buff I was curious as to what happened [...]
1/48 Monogram P-51D Mustang, “Petie 2nd” Lt. Colonel John Meyer, 352nd Fighter Group, Bodney England 1944
Here's a short article about a build that I did a long, long time ago...
This one was special to me, since it was my very first attempt at using Bare Metal Foil if memory serves me correctly. It's the old Monogram kit that was re-boxed by [...]

Back then I didn't have access to the internet, and I mainly relied on books that I had gathered. I frequently followed the build [...]

Next up on the Monogram train I'm riding!
I always like to share what I am starting in on next, so here it is. This will be my 3rd Monogram kit in a row! I picked up this original issue F-102 at Skyway Hobbies in Seattle. Great shape, molds are super clean and it was less than [...]
Monogram 1/48 F-8E, MiG-killing Crusader
My latest effort is the old, but solid, Monogram 1/48 F-8E Crusader.
This classic from Monogram features average fit, with (mostly) accurate outlines and shapes. It has raised panel lines, which also appear accurate compared to drawings [...]
1/48 Monogram OA-4M
Here is my Monogram 1/48 OA-4M. The kit has been around for years- I thought it odd that they released an OA-4M before a TA-4F or J, but maybe the weapons for a FAC role was what they thought would sell the kit? One curiosity of the [...]
