Show your Revell/Monogram builds

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

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

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

As promised...reinforcements....

Revell P-51-D  Foiled

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

Monogram B-24D

Promodeler A-26 Invader...my favorite plane

Promodeler P-39

Promodeler Ju-87 Stuka

Promodeler P-38 Lightning...

...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...

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.

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! 

thanks hercmech

lots of goodlooking planes in this here thread

 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!

Fictional racer.

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

and a couple wall hangers, 1/48

this was my 2nd 410.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I've enjoyed looking at the photos of all the RevellOGram builds posted on this thread.  Proof positive that it's the more the modeler than the kit that makes the difference!  I may be able to make a modest contribution or two after this weekend.  I was with the wife (She Who Must Be Obeyed) shopping last night and the craft/hobby store she was in had a bunch of their models on sale.  Must have been trying to clear out some of their Christmas inventory.  Anyway, the prices were so good that I picked up 4 of the old Revell 1/48 kits to do up as quick and dirty builds, something to use to give myself a little instant gratification as opposed to the highly detailed kits that take months for me to finish with my limited bench time.  I also thought they'd be great to practice and hone my skills on for such things as pre-shading, weathering, maybe a little bit of scratch building, since a failed experiment on a kit you paid $5.00 or so for isn't the disaster it is with a $50.00 kit for which you bought another $50.00 to $100.00 worth of after market for.  I'm going to try to get to one of them this weekend, maybe the P-40, and if it turns out half way decent I'll try to post some picts of my own. 

Great builds, everybody.

Bob I look forward to seeing those builds. We'll be here!

Well, this one is the last of my finished R/M kits. At least for now. There are two more on the assembly line currently. Monograms 1980's vintage 1/48 F-8E. A real nice kit to build. I had more issues with the expensive Cutting Edge AM decals than with the kit. And she did take 1st place in the Advanced Category at this months IPMS Chapter contest, so it's all good!

Until the next one...
