Last Monogram military model


Ron Bell

Recommended Posts

I'm finally done. It took literally years, but I have now completed every Monogram military vehicle model they did, with the exception of the Little John, which goes for stupid money. This is the Personnel Carrier, as they called it. It's the exact same kit as the M-16, which is really an M-13, except that instead of the mg turret, it has the mg ring over the driver's compartment. It also includes six seated soldiers, a rifleman and submachinegun man and a driver. Funny thing is that these figures were obviously culled from previous releases as they are not all of the same scale. Look at the radioman compared to the guy beside him. Must have been a big dude. Oh, and in what army would you ever find five guys to sit in exactly the same way.

 

Anyway, it's done. Has a few problems, but they all do. I'm thinking of rephotoing all of them and writing an article for the Journal, so you may see them again.

 

I hope you have enjoyed this trip down memory lane as much as I.
