RE: Monogram = Crap

No there isnt really any kit maker's that are on par with Tamiya and Hasegawa in the U.S, not any that I know of anyway. If your looking for a better B-17 kit your not going to find one because Revell-Monogram is the only one that makes these kits in that size and for their age they are still pretty damn good.

I wasn't emplying that, I was letting people I have monogram stuff as well. I got a tests O2 and the model was hard as hell to put together warp wings but i tryed to make the best of it. well sorry if i pissed anyone off,but i was just asking.

Great models. They are the only company I've seen actively participate in this forum. Others may listen? But, they don't participate. I think Accurate Miniatures deserves our support for that reason alone.

I thought it was a bit silly for some people to get so fired up over this matter.

I wish monogram could do some more reworking of their molds. The B-17G kit, for example, has been improved, but it could use a lot more work. I know it costs a lot of money to do this and yadda yadda yadda... but I think it could be done given the popularity of the kit.

I couldn't agree more that Monogram/Revel could greatly benefit by re-working some of their old molds. It would take tooling $, but a minimum of engineering time and they would sell like hotcakes.
