Monogram Model Kits for sale
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.

Monogram Curtiss P-36A - Blue Box Issue, 1/72, PA145-70
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$28
First Issue from 1967. Very finely molded with excellent detail and traditional Monogram quality. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The Hawk P-36A has the dubious distinction of fighting on both sides and for more countries than any other plane in history during the opening years of WWII. This Hawk, one in a long progression of famous fighter aircraft, was the winner of a 1935 competition. The USAA Corps received the first aircraft in April of 1938 and the French ordered 100 aircraft in May of the same year. French Hawks shot down just over 30 German planes during the battle for France. The Germans captured the aircraft and sold them to Finland. Others were captured when the Germans overran Norway. In all over 800 Hawks were produced and served in China, Netherlands East Indies, Portugal, Great Britain, Thailand, Argentina and Peru. Although an excellent fighter in 1935, the Hawk was outclassed by the time the war started but when flown properly still gave a good account of itself.
