Nice Thunderstreak. Those old Monogram kits aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be.

Thanks Augie. Yeah, the canopy support structure is a beast to assemble. I never did get it completely correct and just said, "sod it", close enough. ). The tailplanes have a fairly tenuous connection at best but the rest went together well for me. Maybe I just got lucky...🙂. Thanks again!

At any rate, I've really been on a '50s run lately. Buying and working(not finishing so many tho') on a lot of planes from that era.

It's another of the "good" Monogram kits I think. It's possible to make a real nice model out of this old bird. I originally bought this kit back in the late 1980s(!) and it sat in the stash for years. When I did finally get around to building it, I tried an experiment of sorts. I primed the bottom side in a dark gray, and then sprayed the light gray over that. Then, I gently sanded away the lighter color over the raised panel lines. It turned out pretty
