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 [...]
1/48 Testors FA-18 Strike Fighter (CF-18A)
Canada's 441 Squadron's Hornet Special for the 50th anniversary of D-Day, complete with invasion stripes and "JE-J" codes for Johnny Johnson, who commanded 126 Wing.
And there were those who said, "invasion stripes on a [...]
1/48 Monogram B-25J Mitchell Bomber
The Monogram B-25 series was "state of the art", before the Accurate Miniatures versions, and still builds up into a decent replica, for half the cost. Mine was straight OOB, using the kit decals. It comes with a fairly [...]
1/24 Monogram Chaparral 2 D
Jim Hall's famous Chaparral was released in it's 2D form, originally, by Monogram, as a 1/24 slot car, complete with driver, and moveable rear wing. It has been released at least twice in model kit form, substituting a "tub" [...]
