KWT Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 I love seeing these. It's awesome how many of us have the same builds, but in so many different shades and even configuration.
Jim B Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) I think I've only done three Monogram 1/24 kits so far. Built this Mack AC in March 2019: Then this 1964 Pontiac GTO back in January 2020: Ok, that's kind of blurry. And finally this Buick Regal Grand National in March 2021: Edited July 29, 2023 by Jim B 4
atomicholiday Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Monogram 1/24 kits are hands down my favorite. It was the first thing I ever built and the vast majority of models I did as a kid were old Monogram kits. I haven’t built one in around ten years. But when I got back into the hobby the first time in my early 30’s, that’s what I went for. All of these (except for the ‘60 Chevy sedan delivery) were built just over 20 years ago, during my first return. The ‘60 Chevy was built around ten years ago, the second time I returned to the hobby. None of these are fantastic, but they represent where my skills were at that point in my life. 2
Bugatti Fan Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 Nostalgic thread. Built quite a number of their show rods and classics down the years.

Misha Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 While being partial to 1:25 scale models the original Monogram kits were released in the larger scale as most of the European kits. The difference in size is slight and only apparent when the same subjects are placed side to side. Monogram focused on custom vehicles and somewhat simpler builds compared to AMT or the over designed Revell kits of the day. Over the years a number a number of Monogram subjects have found spot in the display cabinet. Monogram released a number of their slot car bodies as curbside static kits. One was the Lance Reventlow Scarab Mk IV that built in a basic scheme with no sponsorship decals or numbers to focus on the clean design of the body lines. A SBC was also fitted into the void behind the cockpit that benefited from extra detail. The super modified dirt track racer is an early Monogram kit that is jewel to build. I chose this to be a “show ‘n’ go” example used by the company to advertise on the track and the show circuit. While a vintage kit it was easily spruced up with aftermarket bits to add details such as the dash being wired as is the engine. The Capital Cab’s “Two Bits” is based upon the Monogram Caprice, a kit that was produced closer to the company’s demise. It featured good detail overall to which I added more taxi specific interior details. Also added was a propane conversion as evidenced by the filler flap on the passenger side, a common practice by fleet operators in the day. The 57 Vette features the Rochester fuel injection SBC which has been wired and plumbed. It’s finished in the classic red with white coves. Another favourite Monogram kit with decent details upon which to build upon. The 64 GTO appeared roughly midway during Monogram’s existence as a stand alone company. It has proven to be a popular subject as shown by this thread. The kit may be built as a two door post or a hardtop. Reaching back to the 80’s I also built the Lil’ Coffin and the Boot Hill Express that I still have in the cabinet. Both are wired and plumbed with the addition of a cooling system for the Express with a radiator fitted under the seat and transparent red fuel lines feeding the carbs on the Lil’ Coffin. Cheers Misha 2

Dave Darby Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 I think I missed this one the first time around. I have few to toss in the mix... Only one of these has the body painted. 2
