Show your Revell/Monogram builds

I wonder what the most viewed thread on fsm forums is? Would not be surprised if it ends up being this one! 

Nice job keeping it alive O with tour nice looking p-39!

OH! I always forget about this thread. I got one Revellogram classic done in 2022. 

Here's my 1/48 P-39, rescribed. 

Cheers!

Aggieman, these two seaplanes look awesome!  Can't decide which one I like better.  I often wonder why a company hasn't come out with a new 1/48 kit of this important warbird.  Makes me want to pull mine out of the stash and get started on it.  Well done!

Theuns, this Apache looks great!  I've got one complete kit in the stash and two that are just missing the nose gun.  Anyone know of any company that makes replacement guns?  Is this kit1/35 or 1/32?  Great job!

Thank you John and Gary!

That's a beautiful Corsair!

Gary

Oh, very nice!

I present to you my 1975 Revell 1/72 A-7 Corsair (according to scalemates). Print Scale decals. Pretty fun and decent kit. Looks like an A-7. No major issues. Tried to make it look like an 'E'.  Finished with Tamiya Lacquer paints. An interesting omission by Revell --  no launch bar!

SR-71A Blackbird

RMG 4967 

SR-71 #951 also known for a time as YF-12C #06937, and sometimes confused with A-12 60-6937, the second SR-71 .In 1971, #17951 was loaned to NASA to complete the testing of the YF-12A program. 951 was temporarily designated as a YF-12C  and given NASA#937.  

On October 27, 1978, Col. Jim Sullivan and Maj. William Frazier crewed her return flight to the Air Force, where she was put back in their inventory and given back her old number.  Frazier and pilot LtCol. Calvin Jewett logged the last of her 796.7 flying hours two months later, on December 22, 1978

951 remained in storage at Lockheed's facility in Palmdale, California until 1990, when she was disassembled and trucked to Pima Air & Space Museum, just east of Tucson, Arizona.

My latest are a very nearly original release of the OS2U Kingfisher, plus Revell's repop of that same kit from about 2012.

We've all built at least 3 or 4 of those Monogram B-17s growing up. I have a vintage one in the stash now to go down the rabbit hole with all the new detail parts available today.

But I always wondered why Monogram didn't just sell the clear fuselage half by itself? Then we could show off any kit as a visible B-17.

I remember building that model so long ago.  Awesome job!

Gotta do my part for the old Monogram thread, here's the Bill Koster/Monogram 1/48 XP-72.  There are more pictures in another post in the aircraft section.

I built this old monogram/revell 80s era 1/35 AH 64 in IDF markings.

The detail in the kit is OK, a little heavy in terms of rivet size but not to bad. Fit in areas was tricky, might have been warping due to age.

Thanks stik. Yea its a pretty nice kit at a fraction of the cost of the Tamiya Mustang. 

 

I was thinking that but not gonna say it...

PJ, that is absolutely gorgeous! Revell Germany sure makes a beautiful large scale Mustang, and you did some fantastic work with it! 

Photographed the Mustang out in natural light this morning to capture some of the Alclad metallic reflectivity that is present but subtle consistent with weathering in an operational combat aircraft. 

Sweet!

Just completed this Revell 1/32 Mustang for the 8th AF Group Build. Lots of scratch work in the pit, gear wells. Wing tank and brake lines added. Paints used were Alclad metallicsi and Model Master enamels. The base is made using an old picture frame, Sculptamold and craft acrylics.

stikpusher, I agree with what you said about the quality of these builds.  All of them look great and it brings back so many memories to see these kits from my childhood still being made into gems today!

PJ, that Phantom is a real beauty! Great job on backdating it to the Vietnam F-4E. Looks all ready to go downtown! 

John, those are two great looking builds also! Amazing how that old H-19 kit can still look so good in spite of its age. And ya gotta love that Airbus and its' livery. Not your average looking airliner.

Beautiful F-4 Ernie.

Two recent ones.

The Ancient Revell H-19

And Revells massive Airbus 380-800

Completed this huge 1/32 Revell F4E commission recently. It has a resin pit and some mods to backdate it to the earlier E variant. The SEA paint was done freehand using a Badger Sotar. Decals are from the Tamiya kit.

Murph,

Nice Spitfire!  Just don't let Bish see it.  He's probably had enough Spits for one year! 

Gary

Squeezed in one last Revell build in 2021.  Finished it the morning of 31 December.  This is the Revell Germany Spitfire IX with Tamiya decals.  Got it as a builder's special from a chap over on Aircraft Resource Center.  He included a fret of Tamiya PE as well.

Thanks for looking and happy new year.

Man...ive got over 60 in my current stash in 1:48 scale.  Currently working on the 1:48 Spitfire mkii.  Ill get some pics posted up when im done.  I love building the Revell-Monogram kits as they are the ones I built as a kid and they remind of me of the good old days.  They can really be built into some nice kits if your not a rivit counter.
