Thanks Woody!
Here’s another old Monogram classic. It’s another 20 year-old build (at least). The Monogram 1/48 Typhoon Mk. IB at the airport:
Hey Tex, great job on the Cobra and the Typhoon. I remember the Typhoon I had many years ago. There was a cool decal that went on the tail of the plane that read: “If fate decrees that I should fail, then fate will not have watched my tail.” A cool bit of gallows humor!! Lots of good memories with that plane. I think its the first time I got the invasion stripes right…[:$]
I loved the Cobra- such a sleek and wicked chopper. It was pretty sad when my unit got moved from Germany to Ft. Lewis, Washington. When we got to our new battalion area, the entire street was lined with Cobras that were bound for the scrap yard…such a sorry ending for a great warrior!
Good to see folks starting to respect the old Monogram kits. A little work and patience and you can do wonders with them. You can’t go wrong!!

Thanks Dave, I’m glad you liked those old birds! Monogram made some great kits.[B]
Yes they have! Have always been my favorite!!!
Here’s my revell F-15. Just finished
Man, that’s very nice woody! That’s another great Monogram kit, and yours looks super. How did you shade the panel lines? They do look good. [B]

My newly made P-61, need some more detailed decals and washing.
Thanks Texgunner. I always use pastels on my models I’ve never had much luck with washes. I was really surprised with the quality of this model. The last Revell kit I built was years ago and it was awful as I recall
Blasphemy!!! Infidel!!![:@]

The PBY-5A is simply impressive. I’m new after a layoff of many years from doing models and much has changed. There are at least two schools of thought that I can discern here on FSM. That PBY caused me to look twice to be sure that it was a model. That’s the school I want to go to. It was built many years ago you say but a recap of what you did would be appreciated whenever you can. I have that model on the shelf waiting for the time when I can do it justice. That PBY is the apex of anything I’ve seen on this website.
“… now they shall know why they fear the dark …”
Stickpusher and Texgunner, please know that I have seen the error of my ways and have fully converted to a true believer.
Ah, another convert! [Y] Peace be with you my brother! Now go forth and spread the good news.[:D]
Woody,
There may be hope for you after all!!! LOL
Oh, Great One Stikpusher. I am building my Rev-Mono stash with the help of Ebay as I just got my Pro Mod P-39Q and the CAF P-39 in the mail today. I am trying to collect alot of the ones that have been discontinued by R-M. A month ago I got my PBY-5 and PBY-5A for much less than the $75 that they want for the kit now, and I don’t think that it has been retooled. I just need to find the time to start work on the stash as it is summertime in Alaska with too many outside projects and fishing to do. I should be able to start soon with some WIP’s for this mega GB thread. And thanks to all the participants for the fine work that they have done.
Shouldn’t a Tamigawa bird meet it’s end with a firecracker. Burnt sacrifice ya know!
Yes, that would be an 88mm FLAK firecracker depending on the target.
Here is my EA-6 Prowler. Straight from the box with Superscale decals. 
No real issues with the kit other than the ones I created.
Looking good MKelley! I need to find mine and build it someday.
