ghodges Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Looks like a good build of a classic Monogram kit! One of my favorites, anyway.... GIL
WildBill50 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Not being a WW II aircraft builder anymore, I remember building this long ago. Your rendition looks great. Do they still give the optional parts to make the night fighter (my favorite one) and the pathfinder in the box? Whose markings are on it, as I see orange or red tail booms hiding out on it. Nice job. Bill
ewahl Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 I, too, liked this old Monogram kit. I built mine with the F-5B photo plane parts and added a scratchbuilt camera compartment. Ed
aAzZ09 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks Bill. I believe they still make the optional parts for this old kit. This A/C is from the 1st Fighter Group, 27th Fighter Squadron, 15th Air Force, 1944. Photo of the actual aircraft came from my Arco/Aircam series published back in 1969. There is a formation of four of them peeling off at an altitude of about 5,000 feet or so, as if these guys were heading home. Pilot's name is unknown. When I built this model, I replaced the model I had before it with similar markings. Best, Mark Not being a WW II aircraft builder anymore, I remember building this long ago.
