1/48 Monogram High Tech Kingfisher

Post by BlackSheep214 »

Now with the Star Trek Bridge and the ‘62 Bel Air Super Stock out of the way and awaiting a replacement parts for the Monty’s Humber kit, I decided to jump on the Kingfisher kit. This is an old Monogram 1993 reissue kit with PE included. I have been making some progress on this bird.

The kit...

PE MG gunsight parts. Yeah, they are tiny.

Yup. It's the same kit. I did the old Monogram white box kit of the Kingfisher as a kid too.

Neat project! Off to a great start.
