Republic F 105 D Thunderchief
This is the classic Monogram Thud in 1/48 scale. The model depicts the Thud flown by Capt. Peter Foley on 13 March 1968. This Thud belonged to the 469th Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing. The 469th "Fighting [...]
Call For a Taxi–a Space Taxi!
This Monogram kit was released during the hey-day of space models in 1959. Designed by Willy Ley, the 1:48 scale model is a depiction of a space "Taxi", or space tug to be used in moving cargo and passengers around larger space [...]
"Flattery" 1929 Ford Pickup
Well I’m back again, have been busy with a lot of projects.
I got another request to build of all things, a 1929 Ford. This time it is a pickup truck. This request differs from the “Little Woodie from H@#$%.” In that this request [...]
1/48 Harrier GR.3 (from Monogram and Airfix kits)
The recent beautiful 1/24 Harrier builds made me dig back and think I should post my own Harrier build of a few years ago. I built this for a friend's father who flew them with the RAF (among his many other duties). I wrote this up for [...]
Monogram dreams of my youth.
When I was building plastic models in the 70s, Monogram kits were the state of the art.
I always dreamed of building on of their big bombers in 1:48, but was never able to do it.
They were too expensive for a kid with a meagre weekly [...]
B-1B Lancer
This is Revell/Monogram's gigantic 1/48 scale rendition of arguably the most aesthetically pleasing bomber to emerge from the Cold War, the Rockwell B-1 B Lancer. This model is depicted in a typical 1980's wrap around colour scheme of dark [...]
1/48 Monogram Convair B-58A Hustler
This is another favourite of mine, the B-58 Hustler. The Monogram kit is getting on a bit but still not a bad build and intersting in this scale. Pretty straight forward build, raised panel lines are a bit of a pain but you get over it and [...]
The Last Flight Of The North American Aviation X-15
I ran out of time to enter a club contest for anything that flew in space, so this was a one week build to have something to enter.
This model represents the X-15A-2 that was rebuilt from the second X-15 that was nearly destroyed on [...]
B-26 Marauder Rosie O'Brady of 344th Bomb Group
My Monogram/Revell B-26 Marauder in 1/48 scale was presented at the recent Scale Model World 2014 in Telford with some success. Here are some more pics and the commentary to go with them.
B-26 was the plane that went from the nickname [...]
1/24 Revell / Monogram Scarab, Done, Finito, Finished.
I built this years ago and it was a glue bomb. I wanted to go back and give her another try. There is still a few woogies here and there, but I am happy with the results. The only modification I made was to add a top half of a engine under [...]
