Love your enthusiasm about modeling. Good to see that the hobby continues to grow among young people like yourself.

Thanks!! Yeahh modeling is great and we all have to try to pass it on!

Having built Monogram from the Late 60’s on…they were the best fitting and best overall quality kits for the money. Another brand that was good quality and oft overlooked is Hawk.

You do good work. I love the old monogram kits. They are fun to build.

[@scaleresurrectionmodeler7379]

One of the first kits I ever made way back in the early 80's was a balsa and tissue kit. I think it was a Monogram kit, the aircraft was a Western Lysander, an unusual aircraft that was used for flying agents into France in WW2. I don't know if they have a plastic version but it may be worth a look. Interesting video brought back lots of memories seeing some of the models I've made over the years. My next project is a 1.48 Revell B24D which I'm converting into a RAF Coastal Command Liberator Mk 3a. Keep up the good work, it's important for us to keep the memories of these aircraft and the people who worked with them alive.

I loved the white boxed kits when i bought them in 1976

[@venteach.6289]

Does monogram/revell still sell balsa wood models?

[@scaleresurrectionmodeler7379]

Honestly I don't think so

[@jackylin6811]

no but Guillow does

[@gabbyhayes4561]

I have built many WW2 aircraft when I was in my twen yrs back in the mid 60s.

[@helainerampley811]

I don't think Monogram used laser cut balsa back in the old days.

[@scaleresurrectionmodeler7379]
