Monogram vs. Imai model molds
Posted by Big Jake on Friday, April 8, 2005 5:42 PM
John Tilley or others,

Does anyone know if Monogram borrowed any or all of the sailing ship molds from Imai? I have a Monogram United States in 1/150th. and the style/box photo looks just like the Imai version. I won a Monogram Cutty Sark in 1/120th. (same scale as Imai) and was wondering if Monogram borrowed the Imai molds to puch out one with the logo on it.

What I know for crossover models Imai to Monogram.1/120 USS Constitution/1/120 USS United States( same kit just different sterns)1/120 Cutty Sark,and 1/150 scale USS Susquehanna.All of Imai other kits 1/100 Spanish galleon,1/70 Golden Hind,1/60 Santa Maria,1/60 Mayflower,1/80 Chebec,1/50 Catalan,1/150 Napolean,1/160 Galeass.1/60 Junk,1/200 USCG Eagle, and 1/200 Sagres II( again same kit because they are sister ships)All these ship model were also sold by Etrl or under the Ertl imai label.Now there is also 1/150 Nippon Maru in their big ship line.I also have two ships that were Heller Molds with Imai labeling. The are 1/150 Amerigo Vespucci and the 1/200 Couronne.At one time Imai also had a wood ship line which are very difficult to fine.And there's 1/350 water line kits that have been around and sold under probably 5 different labels. I hope I haven't completely confused everyone.
