The name Monogram is widely recognized for its high-quality model kits. Founders Jack Besser and Bob Reder had a distinct vision of what makes a model kit exceptional and how to effectively bring that vision to mass production. It's no surprise that Monogram operated efficiently and remained profitable for many years. Initially focusing on aircraft models, Monogram capitalized on the post-World War II interest in aviation, quickly gaining recognition for its attention to detail and innovative designs.
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Monogram expanded its offerings to include a diverse range of subjects, such as classic cars, military vehicles, ships, and even science fiction models. This expansion solidified Monogram's reputation as a leading manufacturer in the model kit industry, with iconic kits like the Monogram 1/48 scale B-17 Flying Fortress showcasing the company's commitment to quality and accuracy.
