12stringz Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Looks real good! Ya know, if you didn't mention it, I would have never known that you had to paint the cowl stripe. You nailed the color from where I'm sitting. Good job! David Thanks for the kind words, David. The decals depict the Marine Training Squadron VMT-1 at Cherry Point from 1951. I just wanted something other than the kit supplied ones. They`re still for an F4U-4 but I`m not too sure how accurate it is with the weapons load installed. Hey, this one was to get my feet wet and get back into building models. It`s been a while since my F-14 from the movie "Top Gun"! George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matrixone Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Here is my finished Monogram P-40. I marked my model as a captured P-40 flown by 2./Versuchsverband ''Zirkus Rosarius''. Matrixone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matrixone Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 And here is my Monogram Fw 190, built OOB except for the decals which are from a Kagero booklet. The model is marked as W.Nr. 2700 ''black 8'' of 2./JG 11 flown in 1943. Matrixone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Very nice builds, particularly the P-40's unusual "change of ownership" scheme. :blink: MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brews Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I like the photo of the Fw, showing its aggressive stance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DarylH Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 The gun nosed B-25J from the 38th BG based in the Okinawa in '45...... Albatros decals, antennae from stretched kit sprue, painted with Tamiya mixes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
revellmania Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Here's my AV-8B Harrier, using the kit-supplied decals for VMA-311 Tomcats: The entire kit was hand-brush painted. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slick95 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) Very nice Harrier! DarylH, what size drill bit are you using for the holes to run the antena wire through? SLICK Edited August 23, 2007 by slick95 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarylH Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Very nice Harrier!DarylH, what size drill bit are you using for the holes to run the antena wire through? SLICK I had no idea so I just went upstairs and measured it.....it measures .017" I don't know what that translates to in gauge sizes but it's in a small pin vise and I treat it with much care so I don't break it.

Julien (UK) Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Some good work here, man I like that B-25, must have been deafening when they let rip with all those guns! Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DarylH Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Very nice Tomcat Paul! It's great to see one with some color on it. The all gray of todays aircraft just leaves me cold..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WymanV Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Here's my last build-Monogram 1/48 F4U-4, Revell boxing: Decals are robbed from an Eagle Strike sheet and seem to be from a USS Yorktown bird from 1945. The working features work (obviously ), but I didn't find out that the wheels don't quite fit in the wheel wells until I took the pic. Ferry tanks and rockets are probably not the ideal load-out either, but it does "busy it up" a bit. As mentioned in the build thread, no finish coats on this-it's prone to fingerprints, but I like the way it looked after decals too much to take a chance of further complications. The pilot will just have to wear his sunglasses, I guess :lol: Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bennygmanuk Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 As promised a while back, some sharper pics Of my Do 335. Thanks for a great Group build guys and for the excuse to build one of these classic kits. Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 The Corsair and Do335 turned out a treat. Well done to both of you! ;) MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rampage55 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 C-47A "Kilroy is Here" from the 92 TCS/439 TCG at Devon, UK, June 6, 1944 This kit is truly a Monogram Classic. The date on the kit says 1978, almost 30 years and I think it holds up well. Thanks, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Great job on the C-47! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 Lovely C-47. It looks excellent. :wacko: MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grant in West Oz Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I think this was the only motor-car in the Monogram Classics Group Build. Realisically I should have finished this done in about a fortnight and gone on to make other models, but being a slack and idle modeller with a giant internet habit, I'm not quite done here at full time. The paint ran, I had to beg glass from another participant, thanks DarylH, the decals were hard and translucent, but all 4 wheels are on the ground on a flat surface. Good fun, not great fun mind, good. Thanks to all. Regards, Grant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarylH Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 ;) It's getting near closing time and the good stuff is coming in Great ride Grant! I always liked that GT 350. I have all the goodies to do Mark Donohue's national championship car some day. Mark's C-47 is very well done :blink: Steve's Do335 looks as well as any Tamiya that I've seen done and Wyman's antique Corsair kit looks great ........and still has foldable wings! I made an effort to push a P-38 across the finish line but my frail father-in-law came first last weekend. I still have today and tomorrow but it's not likely I'll finish.........

yeehah1 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 30-10-07 Miller SNJ...finished at last!! Just squeaking in there as I had to put it on the back burner to geT my Telford project going... I have to say..it's a lovely kit, striking scheme but strangley heavy...no weights put in it, but it's a heavy model!! Liam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
