Here are some Monogram/Revell kits that I've build over the last two years. All 1/48. I have a soft spot for these kits because they are some of the very first kits I built as a kid and can be found for prices that are easy on my wallet!

This model of Medieval jousting armor is Aurora's 1963 reissue of their 1958 kit. The red color is the kit's metallic red plastic. The blue-green is Army Painter's "Wizards Orb." The gold is a 50/50 mix of Testors' Metallic Gold [...]
Republic P-47D “Luckys’ Lady”
This is a Monogram 1/48 P-47D . The box is dated 1967 and was still shrink wrapped. It’s from the collection of a modeler, Mr Claude Good, that passed away about 1 year ago at age 86.
