P-51D 55th FG, 343FS Flown by Capt. Robert E. Welsh (6 victories)
This is a Monogram 1/48 P-51 that I built in 1976. This is just one of many Monogram Mustangs that I have built over the years. All things considered the Monogram kit is still one of the best for overall outline and quality and was [...]
1/72 Rescue. "dio"
The two most rescued aviators in model aviation history ! These lucky fellows are just two of the figures that come with every Monogram Hu-16 Albatross. Anyone who has built the Hu-16, has these guys laying around somewhere, remember [...]
Republic F-105 Thunderchief, one of the greatest airplanes ever...
I always have liked the Republic F-105 Thunderchief. Designed to do a clean, precision, tactical nuclear attack, back in the Cold War days. And then never doing that, but saddled with a grunt job of delivering conventional ordnance at low [...]
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 [...]
