Thanks, Chris, and Kudos to you and Carlos for some excellent modeling!
12 1/2 years of builds and 1700+ posts of Revellogram builds. Great stuff all around folks!
If we build them, they will come [t$t]
John and Chris, thank you. Two more shots of my Monogram Super Hog…
and the 1/48 Monogram Republic family photo
Beautiful family photo Stick. Love the NMF on the straight wing F-84–still recall how you achieved the various panel shades?
Thanks Chris. On the F-84E to get the multi tone effect I used different shades of flat aluminum: Humbrol, Tamiya and Testors square bottle I beleive.
Another one I finished this year…

Nice job on the Hun MrRabbit!
MrRabbit, you cranked out one good lookin’ Hun. I really like the heat staining of the rear fuselage. I’m working on the same kit at the moment, and I hope mine turns out as nice.

Great looking F-100! Those Monogram kits are jewels in the rough.
Nice work on your Hun, Mr Rabbit. She turned out very nicely… particularly the paint burn off look over the rear fuselage.

Wow,fantastic finish Stik
Thanks Tony. It’s not the best model that I’ve ever built, but it sure is the prettiest!
Here are a few shots of a couple of vintage, white-box Huns.
Cheers,

Fabulous Huns Omar!
Keavedog, great looking X15, very sharp!
Great looking P-61 Aggieman! It’s not a dog of a kit, I quite agree, but it may not be for one who lives in a Tamiya bubble [:O]
I like it! I might try and slap something together for the X-Files GB, myself.
Nice couple of Huns, O! Those white box kits were pretty nice. [:D]
Here’s my latest. A kit released in 1955, the year I was born!
Revell D-558-2 in 1:54 or 1:64 scale. Done for the X-Files GB.

Here’s a P-61 I just finished, using the first photo as a reference. I added an Eduard PE instrument panel and used their canopy masks. I got a pilot from a Monogram P-40B and the ADF football is from a Monogram B-25 kit. The paint is Tamiya on the outside and Model Master on the inside. For the crew areas I added some black to zinc chromate green and untinted xinc chromate green was used for other interior area except the cowls which are aluminum. It’s hard to see in the photos but I did add some light grey exhaust staining on the upper wings. Kit decals were used for the stencils, cockpit placards, and the stars and bars. The serial numbers and walkways were painted using stencils, whille the nose art and pilot names are from John’s Secret Workshop somewhere in Northern California. This was a first run kit and the moldings were very good, though I did have a few fit issues mainly due to the difficulty of getting everything aligned properly. I got pretty close and have some ideas on how to get one togther with less headscratching and squinting. The fit of the glass parts was near perfect, however I did work on the upper fuselage shape to get it to fair in with the gunner’s station canopy, and to make it look like the real thing as the corners of the fuselage where it meets the canopy are too square, and should have an increasing radius of curvature from the turret to the canopy. I am finishing up a build log on my website, the link to it will be here:
