Steven H. McLain Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Does anyone know which Monogram kits included books with them in their model kits? I am looking for the kit numbers and book titles. Thank You in Advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 IIRC one of their 1/72 space shuttle kits included a Squadron Walk-around book on the shuttle. Sorry I don't remember the kit # Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spook498 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Seems like the later release of the 1/48 TBD-1 had a book or a booklet in it. I dont know anything about the book though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 To be clear, are you talking about the old Monogram, before they merged with Revell? Also, when you say book, you mean a physical book, and not just the Shep Paine inserts on building a diorama with the kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jpk Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) The F9F Panther had a book on early naval jet fighters. It said it was Part 1: early designs. I don't think there ever was a part 2. Others may know more. The TBD Devastator also had a book on USN aircraft of WWII. It also was a part 1 edition. It covered dive and torpedo bombers. I never heard of a part 2. Also the Blue Angel issue of the Monogram F-4J Phantom also had a book on the Blue Angels. All the books were by Bert Kinsey of Detail & Scale. There may have been others. Actually nice little additions to the kits. Edited December 10, 2020 by jpk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Off the top of my head, a boxing of the Revell 1/32 WIldcat included a book on WWII USN Fighters, the 1/48 TBD Devastator had a book on WWII USN bombers, the 1/48 F9F Panther had part 1 of USN Jets. There was also a part 2 USN Jets that I t hink was in a 1/72 F-14 boxing of the newer Revell AG kit, one on the Century Series that I think was in a 1/48 F-105 kit, and one on the Blue Angels. I don't know what kit the Blue Angel one came with. All were from written by Bert Kinzey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Vol 2, WWII fighter book came with the 1/32 F4F-4 and the Vol 2, jet fighter book came with the 1/72 F-14D. I have three, the early fighters, the WWII bombers and the Blue Angels. Really not bad little books for coming with the model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D. Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 There was the snap B-25 with the USS Arizona kit that includes a book as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
