Monogram presents a Classic Crusader with its 1:24 Scale Lamborghini Diablo VT requiring Skill Level 2 for assembly.
This red hot beauty is all car with its sleek design, low profile, two-passenger interior, rear engine and oversize rear airfoil.
Open up this baby to check out its powerful 492 hp, 5.7 liter, V-12 engine that packs quite a punch. Details abound with both interior and exterior with hidden headlights, custom wheels, black wraparound mirrors and integrated bumpers. Wow!
Less expensive but equally impressive is the '78 Pontiac Firebird 3' n 1, 1: 24 Scale, Level 2 model that allows modelers to modify this fast and furious road beast into three configurations including a sedan and convertible. You'll love the oversize Firebird hood decoration, custom wheels, gold windshield trim, trademark Pontiac grill and V8 GM block engine that crowds the engine compartment for room.
Ford's Streetburner 2010 Shelby GT500 comes in a 1:25 Scale, Level 2 that gets mean when its green. Painted bright red with twin full body white strips, a Shelby engine with its V-8 powerhouse, characteristic grill, cut-in headlights, four stripped seats, custom wheels, oversize air scoop and give this car plenty of attitude. Zoom!
The Level 2, 1:24 Scale '40 Ford Custom Pickup Truck is a masterpiece of muscle with awesome chrome grill, bumpers, wheels, trim and mirrors. The split windshield, roll down side windows, inset bed with wood rails and chrome engine guarantee that this Ford will be considered a classic for years to come. Remove the wood rails for an open bed or protect the bed with a blue full-bed cover.
Another classic is the '56 Chevy Nomad California Wheels 2' n 1, 1:25 Scale, Level 2 station wagon. Go for a two-tone paint job, or custom side flames and full body chrome.
Chrome wheels, grill, mirrors, hood ornament, bumpers and engine parts make modelers wish for the good old days when cars had their own personality and this baby's personality says, "Look at me, I'm something special!"
It's time to get airborne with four aircraft models beginning with the U.S. Airforce F-5E Tiger II fighter jet. With its Sidewinder missiles, laser guided bombs and gun ports the Tiger II means business in the skies.
Scaled at 1:48 and requiring Level 2 modeling skills the Tiger II model has full and accurate interior and exterior details including a cockpit that opens, landing gear, descent ladder for the pilot (who is also included), decal variations, full paint and decal application instructions and parts that detach easily from part trees. An extra fuel tank allows the craft to cruise further distances.
Just as deadly is the Navy's F-8 Crusader with missiles, bombs and single engine (that boosts the aircraft to supersonic speeds) makes this aircraft a formidable opponent in any air or ground combat situation.
Comprehensive instructions allow the modeler to customize the aircraft into one of two versions and the slide back canopy cockpit also includes a pilot, full instrumentation. Extra wingtips can be mounted up or down, landing gear and at Level 2 this 1: 48 Scale model is impressive displayed either flying or landed.
The WWII SB2C-4 Helldiver Navy fighter aircraft is Rated Level 3 in skill and comes in at 1:48 Scale. A rear gun area, full instrument cockpit with pilot, exposed weapons bay with 500 lb bombs and a powerful four prop engine allowed the Helldiver to participate in every major naval action during the war.
This highly-detailed model doesn't skimp on the details or the authenticity of its parts. Model makers need to follow the instructions to the letter. Parts are photo-etched, easy to detach from part trees with little or no flashing and painting instructions and decal schematics make putting together the Helldiver a real treat for any seasoned model maker.
By far the largest and most impressive of all the recent model releases listed is the Bell Huey Gunship measuring in at 1:24 Scale and requiring a Level 2 skill. Paint application and gluing are required but with the model's enclosed instructions adding extra touches is simple.
This monster of a model brings back memories of America's involvement in the Vietnam War. With its slide open side doors, twin oversize windshields, side windows, rocket launchers and rotating front and rear rotors, Vietnam U.S. Army markings, internal framework cockpit with two figures and various exterior details such as antenna and landing rails, the Huey Gunship was the most versatile and vital aircraft over the last several wars.
