Very cool, Baron! I noticed that the Huntsville, AL contest has as the special theme, "It isn't old, it's vintage" where you build something that was initially released at or before 1976. That Monogram P-39 in the white box I have should fit the bill.

Thanks, guys! 

Mississippivol, if you do build it for that show, please show us your build!  That's a great category.  We did a similar monthly theme last year in our club, with "Kits by Model Companies that No Longer Exist".  I picked out a bunch of 1/1200 ships that originated with Pyro, Casadio (Italy) and Eagle (UK).

The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.

I understand. I'm in the same boat. Looking forward to it. I'll start planning my next Monogram build for it.

I have too many to choose from... decisions decisions...

But we will need to see how many other folks want to partake.

I have more than a few Monogram kits in the stash and I'd love to do this again. The hard part would be deciding what to build...

This is the Monogram Mafia so that kind of goes without saying does it not?

I'll be in.  My oldest bought the 1/48 B-24J that we thought we'd do together.  I also have a P-47N and P-51B/C.

I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.

Have fun.

It's curbside, but you know sometimes thats OK. This one will be a "finish quality" one. Haven't built a real custom car model in a long time.

Or as we say in Cali, a Kustom Kar.

My P-51D is almost done. I just have to scrounge up some sway braces since I am not attaching drop  tanks--those monogram drop tanks are just not useable! Actually, I think I can steal some from a Hasegawa P-51D in my stash... After that I just need to touch up some blemishes in the paint job...

MV, it has been nearly three years. This one finished up nearly two years ago now... time flies.

And I must say that it is really great to see such intereat and enthusiasm for these kits and an Episode IV. I think late summer may be a good time?
