Monogram model kits

Hawker Typhoon MKl B

This is my latest work of propeller warbird . It is a 1/48 kit of the monogram, simple but with reasonably fittings. I preferred to paint the D-Day stripes, instead of decals.. Some weatering, not to much, gives a final touch...

1/48 Monogram C-47

Built this kit several years ago and it was my first try at a multi-engine aircraft, after years of absence from this hobby. Built it to honor my dad who made 21 jumps from this type during the war. It's no show stopper but he was proud to [...]

A couple Monogram “Classics” at the airport

Last week's trip to the Cameron Airport involved five models and none had been photographed out there before. Although it was really hot, I managed to get a few pics of each plane. Both of these are ancient 1/48 Monogram kits, and both [...]

Monogram 1/48 Dassault Mirage 2000

The model is the Monogram 1/48 Mirage 2000, the instructions are dated 1986. I built the kit somewhere between '93 and '95. It had never been photographed at all until last Tuesday. When it was built way back then, I had very little [...]

BELL UH-1B “Huey” – Monogram – 1:48

Model built from a scrap of a very old kit! Many pieces have been replaced and a lot has completed the technique of scratchbuilding (using aluminum cans). The model has all the movable parts (doors, access, rotors) as the original! A [...]

Building Monogram's 48th Scale DO-335 Arrow

I built this kit a while back. I have seen this aircraft at Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum/Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center at the Dulles Airport in Washington DC. It is HUGE! I ran across some photos taken right after the war when [...]

U.S.Coast Guard HU-16E 1963

Well today is the US Coast Guard's 225th birthday, so I had to post something the "wing maggots" (we-who-did-not-fly's endearing term for our CG aviator brothers) would recognize. It's the last of my Monogram 1:72 scale HU-16's [...]

Back to the Fifties... building Monogram's '55 Chevy.

I was a teenager during the fifties and Chevy's were every boys dream car. Cars like this inspired my life long love affair with convertibles and customs. I painted this with Tamiya White and Coral Blue right out of the rattle can The [...]

Stinson RQ-1 XR3Q-1 RELIANT

Only one Stinson Reliant served with the US Coast Guard, being commissioned during 1935, serving until 1941. The Service used the aircraft as a flying "Radio Test" bed for long distance aerial radio communications, a novel idea [...]

Monogram / Revell 1/48 Swift Boat

The Revell Swift Boat in 1/48th scale is a re-release ot the old Monogram kit. This kit, besides being in an odd scale (for me) seemed very "toy-like" in that a lot of the "detail" was molded on. There was no [...]
