Sheesh! I just committed to 5 kits…theres a reason I stopped workin on that P-38 ya know! The Panther was no night out wit da boys either…the 109…ok, Ill give ya that one...got side tracked for another GB. [:D] Bring it on...Im an earner!
Here`s my “crew”…
The 3 half wits…
…and the 2 “new guys”…
The lightning and Panther are both good kits but I had problems…prolly due to myself…[:D] The 109 is great, so far, and I dont foresee a problem. Anyways...thats what Im dealin with…lol.
Len
throw me in Hans… [t$t]
I’ll puruse the stash later and add my builds !
Can I get in with the Mono B-36? In fact, that should be worth 2… or 3!
Hey Bub…no free rides around here…last time I looked there`s only one model in that box buddy…[:P]
Ha, last time I looked in that box I just closed it and thought… NO WAY! [:D]
Here is my first choice. Originally a 1970 vintage Monogram kit, I picked up the 1993 dated re issue off of e-bay several years back. A 1/32 Apollo Command and Service Module kit.
Hee hee ! I hear ya…thats why mine is still sittin on top of my beer fridge…right between a B-52 and a Hase` B-47…lol. You just reminded me…I signed up for the B-36 GB…forgot all about that…till now…[;)]
[H] kit Stik, that brings back memories.
Yeah, back in the day I built oodles of the Revell 1/96 space kits, Apollo11, Apollo Soyuz, etc. but never one of these big ones. The Rockwell and Douglas plants that built many of these items were nearby and lots of the folks around here growing up worked on the NASA Space programs. It was so much a part of life here. As a young boy, I got to see Jim Lovell speak at a local school after the Apollo 13 mission.
Nope, still only counts as " 1 " LOL!
HMMMMMMMMMMMM! where did I put those other old MONO kits behind all these B-36`s???
Let me dig in here for places I havent seen or dared venture since 1999!
That expedition back into the recesses of my college days lasted all of 5 minutes before I made a full fledged retreat from an embarrassing past. Behind the 36`s in the area where all the old stuff is I found a CD of this:

Chalk it up to my younger impressionable college clubbing days. LOL!
I Found a few kits, unfortunately none of them were Monogram.
With my 36`s in a holding pattern for modification parts, and wanting to build something … even if it was with lego blocks, I did the next best thing…
Found this nice “sealed” kit from 1968 on ebay - a Do 17Z Dornier Flying Pencil
Should be here in a couple of weeks, in the meantime I`ll start doing some research on this plane as I really dont know much about it
Count me in!
It’s actually worth: 6 single engine fighters, 3 twin engine aircraft, or 1 4-engine, and 1 2-engined aircraft, or, if you judge by what it can cast a shadow over…40 Sopwith Camels, but since it’s a tough job to get made, it’s worth the extra work. I just hope I don’t ever need the padlock I shoved in mine to keep the nose down.

Did you say you put a padlock in the B-36 ? I thought it was just leftover junk inside it and took it out
[whstl]
aah… love me some 6 turning… and 4 burning, !
…and still counts as one (1) build…[:D]
Speaking of that " 1 B-36 build" where have you been? [;)]
Ok, I figured out which kit I’m going build.
Monogram’s 1/48 F-4C. The one with the candycane stripes.
Dude… that’s some classic stuff right there!!! [H]
[whstl]
He He…umm…forgot I signed up for that one…guess Ill be diggin it out of my stash…[:$]
