Well I’ve got a pretty good idea as to which two that I’ll build…. :hmm:

I did a bit of digging and it appears that Revell and Monogram merged in late 1986. So any kit that was originally issued by Monogram by 1986, or reissued by them afterwards is gonna be the requirement.

Well, I have no need to look in eBay. I had forgotten my sister sent me a kit. The box is dated 1996. However, after a little research on scalemates, I find out it’s the same mold and kit as the original from 1977 but it states as New Box.

I'll probably do the Kingfisher and my AT-6 Texan as a T-6G trainer or 70 Boss 302

I want to see that T-6 to a 70 Boss 302 conversion. Epic.

I could always go back to the well and build another P-47 or P-51 -- been wanting to do a Razorback as Rat Racer from the 56th FG
Have a 262 I'd love to build as well, or another 190... Then again I would not mind doing the F4F or F4U-4...
Also would love to build the P-39D with these box markings :hmm: Image

I'm thinking an F-100 and an F-102A, need to get some century series jets done. The only one I have in the display case now is an F-101B.
