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...
Progress pics thus far....
PE MG gunsight parts. Yeah, they are tiny.

Nice. I remember building the old monogram white box kit when I was a kid.
Thanks,

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.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: 1/48 Monogram High Tech Kingfisher
Wouh, this is a very cool project! Have always liked the Kingfisher. Looking forward to follow the build
