I'm all for it!

I think Eagle will be a tough sell, though.

Secret handshake- the little ring and middle fingers form a M while the thumb and forefinger form a R while grasping... Oops, now it's not secret anymore! ;-)

Guys, I am getting lots of chuckles from the past couple of pages here.

Ok, who is up for MM pt.3 starting early to mid July?

Yes, sir, and don't take me too seriously, it was just too good to pass up!

Hey, shouldn't we have a secret handshake?

No worries!  All in good fun!  It was too easy to come up with all that!  LOL! 

I think Stik got the picture too.  Whistling

Secret handshake!  Brilliant!

Too shiny, but I wasn't that into weathering then.  Drilled out all of the dive brake holes and added some flap reinforcing.

Hey Baron, sorry I missed your post last week. Thanks and I've built the old Monogram P-47D and the ProModeler kit is completely new. No parts in common at all. I have no idea if it shares any parts with a Revell kit though. The P-47N has all recessed panel lines and generally resembles a new run kit.

And congrads SP on your new 'promotion' - with the Tamiygawa Yakuza and the Trumpeteer Tong around you might want to have someone else start your car for you before you leave the building - if ya know what I mean?

Seriously, there are some great builds here!  I do really like the Mono/Revell kits.  I guess it is the nostalgia thing, but they are good kits.

Congrats Dom Stik!  Being as my family has been Monogram/Revell followers since way back in the day (and actually being Sicilian!), you have my unwavering devotion to the "business".  And like GAF said, any opposition will be taken care of.  Cool  So...(as we all stand around the big desk you are sitting at)...what can we do for you Dom? Wink

P.S.  I'm taking a break from building my MONOGRAM STUKA Ju87D to write this...just sayin'!

Dom Stik, allow me to be the first to congratulate you upon taking over the "business".  I'm sure certain changes will be coming... and if some members just happen to decide to... *cough*... entertain thoughts of opposing this change in position... well, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... if you get my drift.

I'm sure if we did as a Tribute Build to HVH, naming Stik as Honorary, Temporay Dom until such time the Original Revellogram Dom , reappears, comes out of Witness Protection, or his demise is confirmed,,,that most Revellogram Deciples would be ok with this.. I would.

I second the motion.  So say we all?!

I painted the exhausts rust, and dry brushed with brown to vary the appearance a bit.  After a dull coat, I weathered them with brown pastels.  I also hollowed out the ends with an 11 blade.  I used the October (at least I think it was October) 2010 issue of FSM as a guide on how to paint it.

Thanks for the paint references and I will be digging out the 2010 issues to find the October one!  Thank you!

Thanks Stik!  I have a few more that I took and posted in the GB forum, but I can put there here too.

Hey silentbob,

I'm doing the Mono 87D for the Secret Santa GB and I have been watching your build!  Awesome work and I agree with you.  Don't see why some don't like the Mono/Revell kits.  I too have a ton of them in my stash.....and I plan on getting more!  What color did you paint the exhaust?  Not sure if I will do that version or not, but I couldn't find any references (other than the instructions) for the exhaust color.
