Darren Roberts Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 One of my model clubs had a Monogram build earlier this summer, so these were completed prior to the group build. I thought I'd share them for some inspiration to get the juices flowing. 1/48 F-105G 1/48 MiG-15 1/48 QF-86 Sabre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 These are yours Darren? Beautiful job on the tan portion of the f-105g. Looks very well used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Nice 105! I'll see you and raise you one----Monogram 1/72 F-4J from last year.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john53 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 What really inspired me as a kid was my older brothers Big T by Monogram. Cars, hot rods in general mystified me. Also I loved the bright yellow color for some odd reason. So when American Graffiti came out I had to build Milner's car. I couldn't find the boxing so a few years ago I took the Revell 5 window coupe, cut the running boards down, made motorcycle fenders from sheet styrene and voila, instant '32 Deuce coupe!---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 My A-37 from the 2016 Vietnam GB. Crap photo, but I had a lot of fun with that model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 WOW! That's a work or art.Did you add after market or scratch build? Looks like you went to town on it. Monogram still makes a good base kit to start with, I see lots of guys who use them because of their correct shape then rescribe and add resin to beef them up. Nice job.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Very nice builds all. Going to pin this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john53 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 WOW!!!!! Loving that NMF and orange paint scheme. I always liked the civil paint schemes over the military drab drab schemes.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice job.---John Thank you, sir! the only additions I made were lead foil seat belts and stiff plastic brush bristles for whip antennas. Rest is OOB. i wish I had replaced the intake tennis raquette covers with some PE mesh. still, the monogram a-37 is much more accurate than the trumpeter kit. I don't even bother describing them (because I'm awful at it). They just look right! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fubuki4 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Here's a couple of mine; Revell 1/72 S-100 Schnellboot. Revell 1/48 Bf 110G-4 Revell 1/48 Bf 109G-10 'what if' Revell 1/72 Focke Wulf Flitzer luft' '46 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) I was also impressed with Revell's 1/249 USS Buckley even though the rudder was wrong, should be 2 not 1. I really liked the thread railings, something different. I should have fixed the rudders, I did however scratch build the sonar dome on the bottom of the hull beneath the forward gun mount.---John Edited July 26, 2018 by john53 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 A 1/48 SNJ my Marine buddy built for me, landing gear have been repaired too many times, may upgrade to metal struts next time they need repair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Here's my inspiration for someone. I built the venerable Monogram F-4C about 13 or 14 years ago. The U.S.A.F. was getting these delivered in Navy colors and they were immediately sent to S.E.A. I scratched the two combat cameras on the TER racks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) I finished this OA-4M recently. I built this F-18E for the USN Legacy Squadrons GB: ...and this 1/72 F-105G for the MiG Killer GB I built this 1/72 F-4J last year Edited August 2, 2018 by picknpluck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Nice OA-4M picknpluck! That's actually sitting at the top of my list to do for this GB. Any comments on it? Was it OOB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was it OOB? Thanks! It was OOB except for Furball decals and a couple of very minor tweaks like clear spruce for the wingtip lights, tissue paper dipped in diluted white glue over the rear instrument coaming, and a length of paper clip for the canopy strut. This kit was one of the more relaxing and fun builds I’ve had in awhile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
