Late 1960s Monogram 1/48 Me 109E Messerschmitt

Late 1960s Monogram 1/48 Me 109E Messerschmitt “Top Luftwaffe Fighter”, Kit PA74 This plane was also featured in the Problems with Vintage Models video, although it was so dirty you might not have recognized it. The landing gear is not the sturdiest and the plane has a tendency to collapse. Dad said that the landing gear on the real plane was always a weak point so it’s historically accurate. :...

1966 Built Aurora 1/48 Swedish “S” Tank, Kit 316-129 Going through my dad’s basement, I found what I thought was an Aurora model kit. When I opened it, I found a number of Aurora box tops, including the Swedish “S” Tank in this video, cut out and stacked inside. And although I don’t have the actual kit, I do have the model that Dad built. Please note that this 1966 kit didn’t have decals or the...

Six Vintage 1/25 Tamiya Panthers Panthers can be confusing!

  • @modelermark172
    @modelermark172 Před 28 dny

    Your dad did a great job on this one! I built my share of these early Monogram kits when I was in grade school. What stands out to me is how they were almost designed to "double" as toys as well as displayable models. The non-scale, retractable landing gear, and the radio mast the thickness of a scale 2x4 are clearly designed to hold up to rough treatment. In many ways, it's too bad these kits are no longer available to serve as inexpensive kits for beginners, (and nostalgia builds for those of a "certain age.") Our local hobby shop recently bought-out an extensive collection that included many of these old Monogram aircraft kits; including many examples of the Bf-109E shown here. Though it definitely shows its age, I picked one up - as well as a contemporary Monogram Mitsubishi Zero - for a future project I have in mind that will mainly involve swapping-out the decals and color schemes to make a "What-If?" Japanese Bf-109E, and a Luftwaffe A6M Zero. These kits will serve well for such a "pencil sketch" project. Using the latest kits from Eduard or Tamiya would be more like an "oil-on-canvas" project . . . . Thanks for sharing! 6th Like.

    Good video!!! Built this kit numerous times in the 1990s when was getting back into modeling while battling alcoholism. There is a hobby shop in Indianapolis, IN, that specializes in these ancient Tamiya (and other brands) kits, but they do ask a pretty penny or two for them. I always try to visit that shop whenever am in the area and sometimes will talk myself into buying a kit or two, not that I really need them added to the stash.

      The tracks are not dry rotted but feel delicate and I'm afraid to handle them too much. Some of Dad's other Auroras weren't so lucky and have badly dry rotted tracks. I, too, like the unusual design of this tank. Thanks for commenting!

And scratch built the winch box and rear spade and ran the control wires through the rear toolbox to a plug that could be attached for operation and unplugged for display.
