1/48th Monogram SNJ-4 In The Markings Of MAG-11
Although the 1/48th Monogram SNJ / T-6 Texan kit has been around for several decades, it's still a fine kit to work with. I built this model several years ago in the markings of Marine Air Group (MAG) Eleven. I've included a photo of the [...]
The Last of the Gunfighters
The F-8 Crusader saw service in Vietnam with both the US Navy and Marines. Both fighter and recon birds served in Vietnam with equal distinction from the Gulf of Tonkin, when F-8's attacked marauding North Vietnamese PT boats, to the very [...]
1/48 Revell / Monogram F105G of Le Bourget
I've waited twenty years for a better F105G than the Revell/Monogram offering. With each new release came only disappointment. Trumpeter and Hobby Boss kits still have R/M's pointy nose. Added to that those kits have deep panel lines and [...]
The A Shau Valley, March 10, 1966, Rest in Peace Col Fisher, January 11, 1927 – August 16, 2014
Because of Col Fisher's passing I decided to share with you the story of a model I built and the experience I had because of it. I do not tell this story often, it's not really about me but what a very gentle man from Iowa did for me [...]
1/48 scale Monogram A-1H Skyraider
Hello all! In the hopes of instigating another flash mob group build, I present to you my Monogram A-1H Skyraider that I had finished a couple years ago. I built it for a buddy of mine to represent his uncle's Spad flown over Vietnam. [...]
The Ghost of Gasoline Alley
Here is one you might have seen around in different publications. I am still kinda proud of this one. Old Monogram kit. I paid bucks for this kit, then they re-released it a few months later. Oh well. Photographed by my son Sean on a [...]
Kingfisher…Rode Hard & Put Up Wet
Here is my Kingfisher, Revell (Monogram (c) 1967), 1/48, just drug up out of the water it seems. I can't do any more for it... or to it! So...Yay!
The poor old girl was suffering from a 2" abdominal fracture in the left rear fuselage [...]
Monogram 1/48 Bell P-39L-1 Airacobra
This is an older build that I finally got around to photographing last Thursday. I took it and several other models (see the Bell AH-1S Cobra) to another small-town airport, the Coffield Regional Airport in Rockdale, Texas, about 20 [...]
Monogram 1/48 AH-1S Cobra
Here's a build that's 15-20 years old but I had never taken it to the airport until last Thursday. It's the old Monogram kit from 1986 and mine is painted in Israeli livery. It's pretty much OOB but I did add a bit of screening to the [...]
My Monogram Crusaders
Since everyone is posting their Monogram F-8's, I decided to throw mine into the mix. These have been posted before, so I apologize in advance for the re-runs.
First up is a Monogram F-8E converted to the later J model. I used Superscale [...]
