1/48th Monogram/Hasegawa F4U-5 Corsair
From time to time, when a picture grabs my attention, I often consider attempting to model it. This was the case with the F4U-5 that I wanted to replicate. The Monogram version of the Hasegawa F4U-5 kit was good to work with for the most [...]
1/48 F9F-5P Panther – Korean War Group Build.
This is the 1990s Monogram kit which was apparently modified from the original -5 fighter molds. Both kits are excellent models. In fact, the Monogram Panther is one of my all time favorite kits. Definitely in the top five.
I decided [...]
Monogram Hawker Typhoon.
After many trips from the workbench to the shelf and from the shelf to the workbench, I am calling this little side project finished. The classic Monogram Hawker Typhoon. Total re-scribe of the kit including certain access panels that [...]
Rivet City (Monogram) HU-16B
One to add to my archive. I made this one some years ago. Festooned with rivets, I did my best to get a good fit between parts so I could avoid sanding them away. Tamiya spray can silver and Testors paints finished the job.
Grumman SA-16A Albatross 1/72
I have always made some effort to build Brazilian theme models, so I have several items in my collection. They usually are hard to build due most of the kits have some differences in comparison to the real thing operated in Brazil, so [...]
Monogram F-86 Sabre
This kit was in a shrink wrapped box with a $2.99 price sticker on it. The box was dated 1976. The kit was in great condition, the old decals looked perfect. I also had a new set of Warbird Decal’s F-86 common stencils & markings [...]
Monogram RF-101B Voodoo
"Black Magic" is the name I gave her way back when she was first built. It has now been about 20 years since I came up with a "what if" plan for the Monogram kit. I had the kit in my stash for awhile before deciding [...]
A Review of 2022
This year seems it was a blur. With uncertainty with the pandemic here not here, masks no masks, economy was in disarray, gas sky high especially here in California. The year was cruising along but in April I received a note from the new [...]
1/48th N/AW & A-10A Thunderbolt II
Models of originally single seat fighters/bombers converted to tandem seats may have more appeal. The A-10 follows the path. Hobbyboss' N/AW A-10A is a good model. The optional extended flaps and air brakes add much to the dynamics of the [...]
1/48 USAF Thunderchief
This is my recently completed Revell -Monogram 1/48 F-105F. The last one for 2022.
Although it’s a kit from long ago , it still builds up nicely and looks good collecting dust on the shelf .
For such a large model it doesn’t have a [...]
