Show your Revell/Monogram builds

Well, I built my kits there in the frame of mind that they would not be coming home with me. One of the reasons that I went with large scale planes there was because I knew that I would not have to worry about storage space for them in my home after wards. And I wanted to try my hand on many of those big old Revell planes that I had built in grade school. I was pleasantly surprised to see what those kits had to offer in them. Although many of the interior details are soft or spartan, the exteriors are nice and they are a great canvas for add on work, either AM or scratch built.

The beautiful old Cobra re issued under the Monogram label is a perfect case. New parts added to spruce it up, but the interior really needs a dress up to make it sparkle under all that canopy.

...Since I had to leave this one behind overseas...

Ouch - that's like leaving a child behind! No love from MATS I guess?

Indeed it is... the modelers hand, eye, and mindset determine it all.

well this one has to be the best aircraft kit I have ever built. Revell's 1/32 Hawker Hunter. The molding, engineering, fit, detailing, etc., is just superb. If you like large scale jet planes, this is a kit not to be missed. Since I had to leave this one behind overseas, I picked up a replacement recently from Ebay.

Fermis,

Great looking builds...I  really like the 410, and the PBY. Again it just shows that these kits are hidden gems and can really shine with the right hand to polish them.

Of course we could also say it's not the kit that makes the modeler but the modeler that makes the kit.

This has got to be one of my all time favorite Revell builds!

...and that is all.....til I build another Revellogram!

Revell "G", converted the tail. Markings and canopy are wrong for the F, but whatever!

This was waaaaay before my new airbrush, dappled the mottling with a brush.

this was my 2nd 410.

and a couple wall hangers, 1/48

Couple ceiling hangers. 1/32 F-4 and 1/24 Huey.

Fictional racer.

 To test out my new lightbox/paintbooth, I figured I'd break out the rest of my Revellograms. Some date back a few years and don't really hold a candle next to some of my more recent work, but what the hey!

thanks hercmech

lots of goodlooking planes in this here thread

Awesome work on all those kits Troublemaker! The B-24 is my favorite!

The P-40 reminds me that I built one for a friend who collects Air jordan sneakers. Apparently the Jordan 5 sneakers were inspired by the WWII planes with sharks teeth. With a few sneaker pics in hand, I built my friend this...

I think it came out looking ugly but he really likes it!

Thanks Jmabx,

 Ilike your P-40...don`t see `em painted like that everyday!

Ok..I lied..one more and done for the night. I don`t have this model..I built it for a critically ill kid that loves anything about the AVG. I made him a base outta wood of the AVG`s Blood chit but no pics of it. He`s gotten better since I built this kit for him but he`s still not outta the woods yet....he`s a great kid too.

...last one tonight...Revell B-17G Flying fortress....I have several more and will post them soon...

Whoops..I think the engines were running in these pics...

Promodeler P-38 Lightning...

Promodeler Ju-87 Stuka

Promodeler P-39

Promodeler A-26 Invader...my favorite plane

Monogram B-24D

As promised...reinforcements....

Revell P-51-D  Foiled

Not very well I may add...1st attempt.

Great stuff, guys!  All of these should prove, without a doubt, that the so-called "cheapie" RMs can be made into really great  models!

...and Revell's 1/32 MiG-21MF

Another ceiling hanger...Revell's 1/32 P-38J

Josiah,

Pretty cool looking paint scheme on that Corsair...I am sure it took some time to mask it up.

Revell's 1/48 Corsair, now hanging in my dad's cubicle at his work, a retired Major said he'd like to see one in MARPAT so I'm also in the middle of building another one.
