Monogram Mafia III

Hey everyone,

Man, there are some great builds here!  Super work everyone!  Haven't forgotten about the Mig!  Here are a couple of progress pics for you.  I'm thinking of trying for a Soviet plane serving in Afghan.  We'll see.  Here she is.

Great looking Widow, Woody!

Bob, good progress on your Phantom! Can't wait to see it done.

Good job on the P-61 Woody!

I was able to get most of the major construction finished.  A little bit of filler here and there, but the fit wasn't too bad overall.  I stuck a large fishing weight in the nose to make sure it wasn't a tailsitter.  I also noticed after I got the fuselage together, that there was a bit missing on the vertical stabilizer just above the rudder.  A few pieces of styrene later (with just a bit of putty for the gaps) I was back in business. 

Woody, your Widow looks great. After due consideration you are accepted into the family ;) I will get your P-61 added to the facepage here shortly.

Freem, please share some photos of the Jugs.

Cody, I will get your car added to the roster here soon. I'm looking forward to seeing it built!

Ok, I'm calling this one done!  I submit for your approval my P-61 black widow. Don Stik, I respectfully request consideration for inclusion into La Famiglia. Thanks all

Great job everyone!!  Just constant proof that these Monogram stand up to any kits out there.  

I had surgery on a leg this week and had to stay home (not that I'm complaining) so I got a lot of work done on my 2 P-47s. For reasons I am not patient enough to deal with right now I cant seem to download photos. So here's what I have done so far---photographic proof to come--------

Cockpits done and installed in the fuselages which are glued together.

Wings together and seams sanded. I think I will replace the blast tubes.

Bombs, drop tanks, wheels assembled, interior painting done.

Building straight out of the box except for decals and the aforementioned.

The kits are the "Turtle" bubbletop whose decals were ruined but replacements found, and the razorback from the dual combat kit with the Do-335 which I completed for that GB.

Hey, another car in the game! Lookin' forward to seeing it.

So here we begin a new build.  Its the 1949 Mercury Wagon.  Looks fun!  The 49 ford shares the color I will be using.  Its called Berwick Green.  

Thanks everyone. This has been a good build, just wish I had more time right now. Anyway, she'll probably be done here in a day or two. Not planning on weather too much. Just a little exhaust staining and slight chipping. I really like the gloss finish and really don't want to loose too much of that. Thanks again guys.

Nice work Woody,

That kit is such a classic, I've probably built it 2 or 3 times in my life, never looked as good though.

Looks great to me woody, heck of a lot better than when I tried to build one years and years ago. How much you planning on weathering it?

That P-61 is looking great! One of my favorite planes

Good lookin' Widow!

MS Vol- nice finish on the Razorback Phantom!  Like the rap around camo job!

Silent B- front office is looking sharp!

Woody- The Widow is looking wicked good!  Can't wait to see it finished!

Quick update on the Widow. Got the decals finished and just need to spray another coat of gloss, weather then install the "fiddly bits". All comments welcome as usual. Thanks

Thanks Josiah!

Nice looking F-4 mississippi and great cockpit bob

Cody, I'm looking forward to your joining up in da family here. All are welcome...

MC, your beauties have been added to the front photo roster... nice hat trick btw

Wow guys really great work going on here!  

I am nearly done with a commissioned build so I will FINALLY be able to join in here!  

I'll certainly try, Stik.

Thanks guys!

MV, after careful consideration, you are now made. And she is a beauty indeed! Any chance you can take a few  more photos of her with a plain background?

SB, your Phantom's front office is looking good. A nice preview of things to come I am sure....

Nice job with the cockpit!

Looks good!  I'm doing the same kit, but my markings will be for Sugar Foot III, for the commander of the 559th TFS based in Cam Rahn Bay.  I was able to finish the cockpit this week, hopefully I'll be able to make some more progress this weekend.

MC, WOW! You did an amazing job on the Hun and Starfighter. Someday I hope to do NM as well. Great job.

ECHO, thanks, I appreciate the comments. I'm gonna use the stock "snuffy smith" decals. I've been out of town so haven't gotten anymore done on her as of now. Hopefully this week she'll get done

ygmodeler4,

Hopefully I can do as well on the F4S for your GB. Thanks.

Steve, excellent excellent job, three models you can most certainly be proud of

Steve, the -100 and -104 look great!  I'm glad that you were able to persevere through the rough patches and get those two gorgeous planes done.  Congrats!!!
