Here's one I built maybe 35 years ago. What's not to like? Sure beats the ESCI tribe.

Careful, men, if the Don sees you dissing a member of the (Monogram) familia, you may get an offer....

Re: Stuart's Builds
Hey, I'm building that kit...
How can this ...
... or this
not be appealing?
I mean, it has red and white striped propeller tips for crying out loud -- what else does a guy need?

Re: Stuart's Builds
John - sorry I might have got confused there - I thought we were talking about the P-40? The Skyraider looks like a great kit - up there with the P-47.
Both of these are winging their way to me - both moulded before the merger as far as I can tell using scalemates. I've also put a bit in for an old Airfix weapons set, which if I win gives me some decent BOZ and Skyshadow pods, as well as JP233s. Fingers crossed.

Chris the P-40. Love the Skyraider. In fact I think I'm going to build the old 1/72 A-1E for this GB

Stuart, those are some great secondary choices.

You're not alone. I know the feeling too well with the Revell
P-61 Black Widow kit and others.

Re: Stuart's Builds
Oh I missed this news! Rreal sorry to hear that Stuart! It was coming along well I thought. That kit can be temperamental. It happens... I hope you find a better kit soon!

Re: Stuart's Builds
Well the Sparkvark turned up yesterday - I have to say I'm quite impressed with what I've seen.
Only one marking option, but Monogram included two sets of decals, and for some reason two canopies.
Looking forward to getting on with this one - I've wanted to build a Raven for a while, it'll go well with the Hasegawa Aardvark I got for Christmas.
