bashace Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The next kit I would like to build is the Monogram F-5E Tiger II, this will be a nostalgic build that is 1 of 3 planned kits that will reproduce the kits my dad built for my brothers and myself while he was away doing training for the USAF.

SAU Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Monogram for me in the 70's and 80's were the car kits my cousins built. The only car I got was a 1/32 Porsche 904 GTS that could be built as a static car or a slotcar, lost and gone for long time Should have been fun to try it on my Märklin Sprint track that I have here somewhere packed down... I was more into 1/72 planes and managed to get hold of a P-51B and a P-6E Hawk. Both built and finished but only the Mustang has survived. I raided my stash and found these 60's and 70's boxes by SAU, auf Flickr 80's release of the F-105G Wild Weasel by SAU, auf Flickr 90's Revell for the movie Flight of the intruder by SAU, auf Flickr 90's Revell release of the 60's Curtiss P-36 and a ProModeller Revellogram Me 262 by SAU, auf Flickr I'm leaning towards a Skyraider or a Curtiss P-6E Hawk w/o a box Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) I'm looking at a second entry, the Tomcat is moving along good. I want Revell's 1/72 F-105D, which is Monograms' 1/48 kit downsized to 72nd scale. It's hard to find, if not I'll settle for Monograms' 1/72 F-105G.---John Edited July 29, 2018 by john53 punctuation correction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 No luck finding a Monogram 1/72 F-105D so I ordered a 1/72 Monogram F-105F. Should be here this weekend, I hope.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SAU Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Fun boxart facts The F-105G is molded in Olive drab, F-105F molded in silver, well defined The F-14A and F-5E are both molded in color, and the color is.... grey 🤨 wow....

john53 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 If you really like colors try a Matchbox kit. Gotta love parts in 3 different colors! Some made no sense at all.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I've got an F-14A, F-5F, RF-101B, and F-15E...i was going to do the F-5F for the Top Gun GB but maybe I'll post that one here instead. We'll see which of these I can get through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 It came in today, my official second build will be an F-105F Thud, probably an early one flying out of Thailand in 1966, NMF with OD around the cockpit area.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Well, since the backlog of builds on the bench are moving right along and the Marauder build is going smoother than expected, I'll sign on to tackle another one. A classic from my childhood and one of my all time faves: And I'll pop this one up with some extras... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admiralcag Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I forgot to add what I was building here. I love Starfighters. My youngest son said I should build one in a Naboo starfighter livery. I think that would be cool. If I can get this done quickly, I may try to do an OS2U Kingfisher. Vern Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelguy2 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I think I'll join and build The F9F Panther with Eagle Strike bare metal decals Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kurt H. Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hmm... does any one want to see a car? I have had the urge to build a car model, and I have some Monogram and Revell cars in the stash. I am not sure if I can deal with another Monogram airplane right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Sure, surprised we don't have a couple yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Funny you should say that... This one has been poking at the back of my brain for some time now and I could use an OOB quicky just to get something finished: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Going to start with this Revell Bf 109G-10 in 1/48 for starters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I'll build Monogram's "Miller SNJ" OOB--well, assuming the decals hold up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelguy2 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Second build will be Monogram's classic AV-8A Harrier as an AMARC plane Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I have a spot that I can hang this from my ceiling. Its the 1:144 Revell 747 kit. Els Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Just about to finish a model that has taken me almost 3 months to finish...........Hard, difficult build. Need me a nice Simple Revell to get my speed back up......Think I have just the kit . Hopefully I can start it by next weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Since we still have a month to go, I will build an automotive subject... watch for the new thread 👀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I have a few more days off so I'm doing a quick Monogram F9F Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Since I am at a stand still on the Ed Force One while waiting for decals I thought I would break out another kit that I think I can build quickly enough to get it done before the end of the month. I am going to throw a motorcycle into the mix. It will be one of the Revell custom chopper kits. Els Quote Link to post Share on other sites
