Lars StigaardWow - Great classic old kit from Monogram - From your stash or?
10. September, 17:57
Mark DeBackerHi Lars. Yes, going through my stash and documenting it, as I have made some repeat buys in the last 18 months. Some of these purchases were a LONG time ago!
11. September, 06:57
Lars StigaardGreat - I havn´t done model kit in over 40 years and just started up last year and are in the process of building up some stash relating to my ideas - so I still have some way to go.
I am trying to recreate some of the kits that I did as a young boy and a lot of these kits are old kits - some hard to find and some easy to find - but eBay is a helpful tool.
A lot of the kits from that time was from Monogram because when I was a kid we lived for several years on an america base i Belgium (SHAPE).
Recently my father suddenly passed away and wile going trough his things I found my old 1:72 kit from Monogram of an B-52 - It has a lot of damages, broken and missing parts but I have decided to try an repair and rebuild the kit.
Luckfully I found the exact same kit from Monogram on eBay so know I have the necessary spare parts to rebuild - My timeframe is to start this project some time in 2021
11. September, 07:08
Mark DeBackerGreat project and still one of the better B-52 kits after all these years. Welcome back to the hobby!

JdalianisWow what detail for an old kit!!! Yeah it has raised detail but it is all exquisitely rendered. I originally bought this kit because I want to use the open canopy on my Academy "Showtime" kit because it has nice detail and recessed panel line but this Revell(Monogram) oldie's cockpit detail puts the Academy one to shame!
I will use the open canopy on this Revell kit and put the closed on on my Academy one.
This is truly a gem of a kit!!!
4. September, 01:54
Łukasz GlińskiBuilt it years ago (the Monogram Yellow-Tail edition and yes, fully agree, it is very well detailed, too bad all the details are raised.

Jake Holshuhglad to be finished with this monster. The resin wing conversion is a disappointment as i failed to shim the resin and it kept cracking under mild pressures. I also failed to keep up with all the references that i had, including having to hand paint the horizontal stabilator white after i had already declared the tail. Not my best offering overall but i did decal it for The VMFA-323 Death Rattlers and my old friend Bob Potter who flew a F4B in 1966, 300 missions!

Daniel TonkinThis model was a birthday gift from my parents back in 1984. I was a young teen back then and my modeling skills were a work in progress. I did not own an airbrush at that time and I brush painted the entire model. Ahh, the good old days! This is one of the models that I still have that has survived the test of time. Yes, it has had a few bad spells of the landing gear breaking off but it's still here 36 years later. The F-4 is one of my favorite military aircraft and I continually look for better kits of it.

Patrick HagelsteinThe review mentions a weird paint instruction in comparison to the box art. This is Luftwaffe Norm 81 and should be ease to find online.
3. July, 15:28
TimThanks for the information. I looked up the color that Revell indicated and to my eye it did not appear to match the box art at all.

TimGreat picture. Thanks again. It does appear to be a faded out two-tone grey.

Patrick HagelsteinActually, it has six colors to be precise. There are lots of painting instructions available when you search for Norm 81 online.

AlexSehr schick, Sven! Hab' zwar schon zwei Phantoms, aber bei der Airfix bin ich immer noch am Überlegen, ob ich stark bleiben soll! Ist die OOB?
25. June, 13:15
Sven SchönyanHi Alex, ja die ist OOB. Der Kit hat viele Bauteiltrennungen, weil man mehrere Zustände darstellen kann. Nach dem Lackieren und dank des umfangreichen Decalbogens fällt das kaum mehr auf. Es liegen viele Außenlasten bei, aber die sollte man gegen Resinteile austauschen. Um mir das zu sparen, hatte ich alles weggelassen. Das mache ich beim nächsten 48er Modell wieder.

Sarunas DGuys, could you help me find the dark green color for the B paint version? It's a JASDF plane, the instruction says FS 34079, but the color profile is way different from the dark green. I'm looking for Testors Model Master enamels. For other dark green colors I chose 1710, but the JASDF looks much more different.
14. May, 18:19
Murad ÖZERlooks like the camo consists of these 4 colors:
FS34097
FS34108
FS30372
FS16440
15. May, 14:17
15. May, 14:18
Murad ÖZERto my eyes on both the fs color callout and real life pictures it surely looks like your usual airforce olive drab but with a noticeable green tint instead of the darkish/brownish one to be honest.
15. May, 14:20
Sarunas DYou're right about the green tint. I looked at every MM green enamel color that my local shop has and decided to go with MM 2029 Green
FS34258 - it looks closest to the color in the manual.
