Monogram 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback “Zirkus Rosarius”

Monogram 1/48 TBD Devastator

As designers will tell you, if it looks right, it is right. Well, the North American F-86 Sabre just really looks right. Really right. With its sleek swept wings the Sabre was an elegant warplane. North American had started the XP-86 [...]
Monogram 1/48 TBD-1 Devestator Ens. George Gay Midway 1942
This is the Monogram 1/48 Devastator straight from the box except aftermarket decals and I swiped a dual 30 cal. for the rear gunner out of an Accurate Miniatures SBD-5. Always wanted to do a Torpedo 8 aircraft, and I know most people do [...]
