In progress: Monogram F9F-2 Panther VMF 311. The airplane has decals on it now, just no pictures yet. Paint is MM Dark Sea Blue and AK Dark Aluminum.
OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...
My most recent Monogram build, their iconic F-15C in 1/48 scale.
I used the missile ejectors (is that what they're called?), the little fins above the rear Sparrow missiles and the ladder from the Hasegawa kit.
The Sparrows themselves came from Tamiya's F-14 kit; I wanted to use the originals but they just looked terrible.
Decals are OOB.
Came out a lot better than previous builds of this kit. Gee, I guess it's true about taking your time.
My most recent Monogram builds, all since January this year:
A-10A Thunderbolt II 1/72
F4B-4 1/72
F11C-2 Goshawk 1/72
P-6E Hawk 1/72
Focke Wulf Fw190A 1/48 (built to replace the garbage Tri-Master/Dragon kit included in the Revell Mistel kit)
Straycat & Aggie, those are fine additions to this thread!
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

Thank you!
You know, I posted my P-38 here some 10 and a half years ago promising to post an update when it was finished... It's a bit late now, but here's that P-38! I have a few others to post, too, but I will get them up a bit later!
Nice looking p-38 beefee!
On the Bench: Too Much
Hi guys my favourite model and possibly simplest but best looking in my opinion is my Revell shuttle I know its an aircraft forum so I'll remove this if it doesn't belong but it's Revell and a plane kinda well glider.
I used Warbirf decals for the tiles if recommend these as there's almost no detail on the 1/144 Shuttle.
As a tribute to the STS missions I used the spare decals and American flag on the base.
Heres mine. B-25 Mitchell. First build since leaving the hobby.

First build since leaving the hobby eh? How exactly did you manage that? :-D
At any rate, it's a great looking B-25!
No way a kitwrecker could have done such a masterful job on that shuttle! Tell us the truth now, who built it?

Yep...Went to youtube university and studied on how to do some weathering techniques and went for it. It turned out great and all my models since than have been better than the last one. Thats kinda how the hobby works and i love it!
Here's the finished Monogram F9F-2. It portrays a Panther of VMF-311 during Korea.
Very nice! Great finish
Thanks,
John

Lol yes Its my favourite in the collection the parts don't fit at all so it's all filling and sanding but with the decals I think it's worth it. It's certainly more striking than anything else I've got on the shelf I'd say. I would like the shuttle and boosters in 1/72 scale it would be huge but awesome.
2022 New Year's Resolution: Enter 1 group build and COMPLETE a build this year!! Why Photobucket did you rob me of my one Group Build Badge??? Must be part of the strong anti-Monogram cartel!!!

Tal Afar Davedo you think that there is enough interest for another round of Monogram Mafia group building?
I can never say no to a MM GB...even if I always fail to finish on time....
Just completed this Revell 1/48 F84G converted to the E variant with a couple of easy modifications. Alclad paints used for the NMF.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
All very nice builds!
Love how that F84G turned out. I have one on the shelf, hope it turns out half as nice.

That's a beautiful finish, PJ!
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Wow, this thread has gone on now for just about 10 years, with steady activity, too. Congratulations, all you Monogram fans, for keeping the faith!

Thanks Baron.
Sorry for re-posting but I feel obligated to update this thread...
Took quite some time, but I finally got her done. All kit plastic except for a piece of glass in the gunsight and new guns.
Beautiful build CB! You did some mighty fine work on this classic kit. And a most worthy addition to this long running thread!
Thanks again Stik! Hopefully I'll have a few more to add by EOY!
cbaltrin Thanks again Stik! Hopefully I'll have a few more to add by EOY!
Youre quite welcome. I'm hoping to add at least one or two this year myself.
