bbowser Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Looking good. Those Monogram kits in the '90s are what got me back in the hobby, I've built a ton of them. Let me know if you are missing parts, I've got lots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambrakos Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) After a disappointing first try to build this kit I put it away. But now that you reminded me of it I pulled it out and it looks like I'll go for round two. I primered the body with white primer and tomorow I will start sanding. Surprised that you had a hard time finding one. They were dirt cheap on ebay a while back. I probably have a few in my stash. Keep up the good work! .... and lets see it finished!
