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.

This is the original 1967 RB-66 issue, not the 1990s reissue. It is a fine model from the original 'Four Star' molds and features rear gun turret, cockpit with three crew, opening bomb bay and bomb. Molded in gloss silver and clear. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. The box displays much better than the 'very good+' grade but is rated as such because there is tape residue at the center of the two long sides. When the Air Force phased out the B-66, they converted many into ECM aircraft, hence the RB-66A. Monogram seized this opportunity as a new lease on life for the B-66 molds and the result was this issue as RB-66 aircraft were being used in Vietnam in the late 1960s.
