From 1964!?!? That model is as old as I am. Kudos for keeping the old bird around for all these years :shoutout: And the props still spin to boot!

Very nice! Yup… that’s an old vintage Monogram kit. Same kit I did as a kid and currently doing another one now.

Nice to still have such a memento John! :shoutout: Ah the days of no filler, worrying about seams, etc. Just build ‘em as quick as you can and have fun with ‘em. :hmm:

Those are both beautiful and convey their subjects perfectly! There's passion on display here as well. Bravo!

Nice work John. Wish I still had mine—looked similar to yours.
