MONOGRAM’S CENTURY SERIES: TIME TO COMPLETE THE STORY!

Welcome to Part 2 of my look at Monogram’s superb collection of Cold War, Century Series Jets. In this book I will look at the F-104 Starfighter, F-105G Thunderchief and F-106 Delta Dart.

Though this is Part 2, this book deals with the kit that perhaps sparked my interest in building this collection: the stunning, F-106 Delta Dart. No kit in my personal history has captured my imagination in quite the same way as the Dart. Equal parts terrifying to construct and thrilling once complete, the Dart was a kit that I tried to build as a young boy, only failing to finish it as its idiosyncrasies came to the fore. Now, 40 years on, I’ve not only built that kit, but the entire collection. The two books that I’ve released this year, tell the story of all six projects.

Here are the three models that you will find in this new book:

F-104G, 417 Squadron Canadian Air Force, CAFB Cold Lake.
CF-101B in the colours of 416 ‘Lynx’ Squadron RCAF.
F-106A 57-2494, Massachusetts Air National Guard, Otis AFB, Cape Cod, MA. 

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THIS BRAND-NEW TITLE?

Detailed chapters offer the enthusiast all they will ever need to tackle each kit, with in-depth discussions on assembly, detailing, painting, decals and weathering. Problem solving, that most necessary of considerations with these older kits is also front and centre, as are ideas on how to deal with legacy surface details and their protection, left-field ideas on finishing and how even the most basic of details, can make a big difference to the look of your models. 

If you’ve ever wanted to build this series of kits, this very special book is all you will ever need! Heck, if you’ve ever wanted to build any of Monogram’s aircraft kits but are not sure how to go about it, this book is for you! Never before have Monogram’s 1/48 aircraft kits been looked at in such detail!

Here are just some of the pages that you can expect to see in your copy when it arrives through your letter box.

SO WHY THIS COLLECTION AND WHY NOW?

In this day and age of incredible kits that modellers of all skills and ages can build, older offerings such as those seen here, tend to be forgotten. Given my love of these ancient tools and the chance for something personal that each can provide, I wanted to show that they are still worthy of our time. It also allowed me to revisit a range of kits that I had admired from afar but never really looked at in detail. I hadn’t built many Monogram kits, so when I realised that I could build a coherent collection of miniatures from this range, the scene was set to turn the clock back and see how far my skills would take me. Monogram’s Century Series was the result.


AND THAT’S IT… ALMOST.

By purchasing one of these books, either printed or digitally, you are helping to keep the lights on and allowing me to continue with projects that I know that you all enjoy seeing.
