MONOGRAM AIRCRAFT GROUP BUILD (ends 1/1/2005)

Me109E is done.......I used the pilot figure to fill up the cockpit and some Cutting Edge decals for 7/JG26........these Monogram kits are great practice subjects for paint and scribing techniques!!

Ack I am way behind...Instead of getting the kit and detail set I bought a new Iwata brush. So i will be scrambling to make the dead line. Due to a bad auto accident I was in at the beginning of the year I am just getting back to work on limited hours. Can ya see your way to extending the time line so I wont be late on ya all?

I'll do the P-61 with AM decals and an Aussie Kingfisher.

I have a Bf-110G-4 that i would be able to add.
Also, would it be possible for someone to point me to where i can find out exactly what a group build like this one consistes of? Thanks

Oh and I finished my Mig-15 Bis, I should have photos of it up early next week.

Heck no its not too late to join we just started this thng this week so you are in the clear. And Im always open to another P-47 kit.

Only if you want to use them but otherwise go ahead and use aftermarket products, infact I encourage you to use them for these kits.

G'day,

Nice one, Drew! Thanks for sharing. Still haven't decided whether I'll go for the Me-410 in the Pro-Modeler range or this ancient Tu-16...? I'm not sure how accurate the Tu-16 kit is, and whether it can be turned into something better. I'll check that later today...

Thanks for the Phantom pics, looks reall good there. OK everyone that wanted to be in is in now lets do some building.

Hi all,

I just finished the Monogram 1/72 F-4J Phantom kit. It's a fine kit, and it went together pretty well.It needed some filler putty, and it suffered from some nasty ejector pin marks, but overall I had a blast building it.

Here's a montage of photos of the completed kit:

Lastly, here's a review of the same kit from Modeling Madness:

I used aftermarket, Fox One decals on the plane.

So, I won't be participating in this build, but I can highly recommend this Monogram kit if any of you can find it.

In fact, most of the kits I've built over the years have been Monogram, now that I think about it. I've always enjoyed their kits. They may take a bit more work than many newer kits, but they're still darned good values and they build into nice kits with some care.

Regards, and good luck!

I was thinking about playing around with the ancient Me109E. I have lots of extra 109 decals so I'll see what I can do with it.

I formally join with my 1/48 scale Revell/Monogram P-51D to be finished as 'Detroit Miss'.
