1/72 Revell of USA kit,,,,,,,sorry for the Hasegawa bombs, but, this kit was built before the YF-16 and F-15 kits were released

I had 5 of these done and on display at one time, but this was the only one that survived the move to TN

7 more to build someday, though,,,,,they're fun

ooopss, that was supposed to say "sorry for the old Hasegawa A-6 bombs",,,lest anyone think "Has Weapons sets"

One picture or one model?

Any way here's mine P-61 Black Widow.

I've got the B-29 Hanging from the ceiling, oddly, I don''t have any pics of her. I'll have to correct that oversight.

I like everyone's build, makes me want to open up another kit.

Lot's of great looking models in this thread!  Bow Down

See, Monogram/Revell can be made to work; it just takes a lot more work sometimes. Smile And, as someone has already mentioned, it makes you a better model-builder.

Wow, lots of great work here!  I don't think mine come close to all of yours.  But here are ones I've built, since coming back to scale modeling...

First, the P-40N in 1/72 (2008):


then, the TBF in 1/48 (2009):

some practice in detailing:

I have 2 more of these, though, and I'm hoping to get better with each one (and yes, I have the AM TBF in the stash, too).

Finished in 2010, the P-47D razorback, done up as Lt. Frank Klibbe's "Little Chief" (decals by EagleCal, though):

"Little Chief" wrinkled a little Sad :

and also finished in 2010, the F6F:

I built this for our Monogram Aircraft Fellowship Build at Agape Modeling.  I wanted to practice scratchbuilding, and added a cockpit, which can't really be seen Big Smile :

More Monograms in the pipeline:

The P-51B in 1/48:

this will be Major Howard's "Ding Hao!" but with decals from Mike Grant; this was a bagged kit, with no decals or instruction sheet;

the P-47D bubbletop, no subject chosen yet, but it will be NMF:

the TBD and an SBD (please forgive the focus, these are some of my earliest digital pics):

I also have a pair of P-36's in 1/72 in the painting stage, with decals from Starfighter.

And for the Agape Automotive Fellowship Build, it's Tom Daniel's Red Baron:

That one is awaiting stripping the chrome.

Those are just in progress.  I'd say that 80%, at least, of my stash, consists of Monogram kits, whether old boxings, or newer ones.  I just really like building their kits.

Thanks for looking, best regards,
Brad

I no longer have my earliest builds, but it sure is fun to see how far I've gotten in just a few years. I am in my second year of college now and this kit was built while I was in high school. Its nice to know I wont build them like this ever again!  Ick!

That's revellgrams 1/48 Corsair...now used as a paint mule and for technique-testing

Well my first post did say one kit per post... my intent was to really make this one last from all involved.

But obviously we have some model builders who dont need the instructionsWinkStick out tongue I am just loving all the great work here.

To keep in the spirit... Gabby's Jug, 1/48 P-47D

I agree about the old P-38. It is not a bad kit. It just shows its age. I built mine about 15 years ago now... and the only real failing on mine was the decals... I may strip it down one day and have another go at those... But it certaily looks like a P-38.

I also have a Revell P-51B in the works that is shaping up to be quite a beauty!

Owl, I gotta tell ya, that MiG 29 is something else man!  That is one cool model; great job.
