tomsheehy Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I was going through some old photos lately and came across this collection of 1/24 muscle cars by Monogram that I built about 12 years ago. As I recall, the kits weren't super detailed, but built up to be very nice replicas in their own right. Its weird that this 'odd' scale was used so often by Monogram back then, when 1/25 had pretty much dominated the market. But I digress... Anyway, here goes. I only had 1 image of each of them... 69 Coronet Super Bee... 70 Superbird 71 Hemi Cuda 69 GTO 64 GTO 70 Chevelle SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Some nice builds...as far as the scale, remember these kits date back to the '80s---before Revell bought Monogram, and 1/24th was Monogram's standard scale. I built these back in the day as a kid and they still build up nicely today IMO after so many reissues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk312 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Very nice work on all of them! I really like that `cuda with the unique color choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hmann Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I always liked the Monogram 1/24's. I think I built them all in the 80's, in my early teens. Not super detailed, but they went together well and the body dimensions were realistic. Do careful paint work and build cleanly and they look great.

Geno Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) I have some of these and really like the scale as they fit in perfectly with my FM & DM diecast collection. Extremely nice builds by the way. I built the Monogram '70 GSX to go with my GM '70 muscle car collection in diecast as no one has done it in yet. Here it is with the Danbury Mint '69 Judge. And here it is with the FM '70 442 and the GMP '70 Judge. Edited April 27, 2013 by Geno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrdarkmonkey96 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) It amuses me to see the hood on the 'cuda still didn't fit right way back when Seems to be fairly common with that kit. The builds look great though! Edited May 3, 2013 by Mrdarkmonkey96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
