Monogram model kits

Monogram 1/48 Messerschmitt Me 109E

Copyright 1962... This "Me 109" has to be one of the oldest kits on my shelf. Even the instructions show it's age, beginning with the title "Me 109 E", and then explaining that the "Me" was the popular [...]

Monogram 1/48 AT-6 Built by Stan Staples

I became aware of Stan Staples in 1967. I obtained a copy of a magazine entitled “1001 model airplane ideas, clubs you can join” published by Delta magazines. The purpose of the magazine was to promote an awareness of IPMS. There were [...]

Monogram 1/48th N. American F-86 Sabre, Korean War

My 1st attempt in doing a bare metal finish was on Monograms F-86. Using Alclad Aluminum and Anthracite Grey for the gun port panel. Aeromaster decals and True Detail wheels are the only AM used on the kit. A fun build and applying a [...]

1/48th Monogram B-25J as USMC PBJ-1J

Here's one that I completed about a year ago and wanted to share with the group. The kit was the fine ole Monogram 1/48th B-25J. When originally issued, it was pretty much a 'state of the art' model. By today's standards, it's still a [...]

1/48 Monogram B-25H Mitchell

After a long period of no posting it's time to begin again. My first attempt several years ago at a twin engine model and I choose this old Monogram kit. The B-25H was the most heavily armed aircraft produced during WWII. In addition to [...]

A Hind with a different tilt

Probably my most favorite helicopter (which is probably not my most favorite aircraft type) is the Mi-24 Hind. It is a very interesting and unusual looking design. And from what I’ve read, it’s pretty effective as well. One of the [...]

Monogram 1/48th F-101B 444th FIS

Here's a recent build of a classic old Monogram kit, the 1/48th F-101B Voodoo. I finished it in the markings of the 444th FIS Det 1 which was stationed in my hometown of Wilmington, NC between 1966 and 1968. Pretty much an out of the box [...]

PBY-5A Catalina – Black Cats VP-81 ‘Nite Life’ – New Georgia 1944

This is the 1/48 Monogram kit, purchased as the -10A post-WWII Rescue version. I thought a colourful scheme of internediate blue-over-white finishes, with bright red and yellow bands, would make a big impression as a scheme. When I opened [...]

Ferrari air racer

Back in the 1980s, I thought of doing a model of a hypothetical Ferrari air racer. I used the 1/48 Monogram F-105G kit, one of the 2 seaters, removing the 2nd cockpit. I had already done this to make the F-105D, as Monogram had not yet [...]

1/48 Pro Modeler VB-83 Curtis SB2C-4 Helldiver

Inspired by Tom's posting the other day of an "Essex" Helldiver, here's mine from VB83. I built this one basically OOB with some minor scratch built additions to the cockpit. Construction was simple and straight-forward, I was [...]
