Thanks Herc,  I really love that kit. I have two more in my stash and will get around to those one day... I am looking forward to seeing yours built up here.

If you want to see it you will have to go to my WIP since it is the Eduard kit. I am planning on adding the Monogram one to my stash on Hammers recomendation.

Steve,

I really like your builds. The Condor came out great and I love the Tomcatter F-4. That was my Dads sister Sq back in the day.

ME 262. I actually had the Tamiya offering right in front of me at the store while shopping. I decided on the Revell for it's price and don't regret it. OOB except for some PE radars added in a 'what if' configuration. All panels opened are hinged and working too.

Built this one years ago too. Never even got around to weathering it or adding the rockets.Embarrassed

Thanks Herc, I did the F-4 for a pilot of the squadron who is a good friend of mine and I have built 3 F-4s for him. Most were Hasegawa but this one was the Monogram, for the money the R/M kit can hold its own

If you want to see it you will have to go to my WIP since it is the Eduard kit. I am planning on adding the Monogram one to my stash on Hammers recomendation.

I can second that recommendation. I built mine 95% OOB with a bit of scratch built dress up detailing here and there, a resin seat with Sutton harness (love those True Details seats, 2 for a song...), and AM decals. My next will have more upgrading added, building on what I did withth my last. I have heard that the Eduard kit has a few fit issues.

Also in 72nd scale a JU-88 which I kitbashed to use the radial engines from another donor kit. Otherwise an OOB 'just for fun' build.

 

Thanks for this thread since it gave me a chance to break out the feather duster and remove years of accumulation!Whistling

Does Revell of Germany work for this thread? I have some of those kits.

Sure, why not? Revell Germany has a combo if their own molds, Revell/Monogram, Italeri, and Zvezda molds. 

Here is an old70svintage Revell F-4E that recieved the help of canabalized donor parts off a Monogram F-4C/D

Almost 3 days anno new additions!!! :28:

Aggie, I do know that the P-38F/G/H and Ju-87B/R started life as Hasegawa molds, and the Ju-88 has DML lineage, but all were later brought to R/M under the Promodeler line up. No worries. That Bone, Thunderjet, and Tante Ju are all purebreds. And beautifully done I might add. Nothing wrong with a Brady Bunch under the family name.:scratchchin:

Well these are RM kits I built but no longer have posssionof... they were left behind after being built to occupy my time while serving oveseas. Here is the old 1/32 Revell Me-109G-6.. a ceiling hanger that had not yet built up natural weathering...:27:

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.

Josiah,

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