Remember the molds are older than you are (possibly)

LOL! No.I’ve done a lot of the old Monogram aircraft and car kits growing up in the 70s. I didn’t discover Hasegawa until the 80s. I loved the old original Monogram kits of my youth years. I still do since I’m always on the lookout for vintage kits - be it Monogram, MPC, AMT, Revell of my youth. So far, I managed to snag quite a few these last few years. I’m still looking for a few of my holy grail kits.

Nah, I would never do so. I love that kit. Even if I am a few years older than it is, according to Scalemates

BTW, that is a beautiful job that you did with your Monogram Jug! Love that checkered cowling!

Built a few myself way back when

Very nice indeed - I have that kit myself.... Now then, you're given me an idea.

Crap, about the only plastic kits older than me are Frog Penguins!

Chris, that's a nicely built and photographed model. I just built an XP-72 using that kit and the Koster vac conversion. Maybe we need a Monogram thread here, Carlos?

Whoa, don't get me started John! That would keep me busy for a while.

Yeah, I think it might be about time to find a new place for La Famila in 2023… If we have enough interest…

Thanks John, and , I agree about the Monogram 'thread'
