Monogram models

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Monogram (disambiguation).

Monogram was a premier maker of scale models of aircraft and cars in the 1960's-1980's. The company was bought by Revell which has since re-released a number of the kits.

During the late 1960s, Monogram and Revell were rivals for the scale model market. Monogram aircraft kits were known for imaginative "operating features," such as a spring-loaded ejection seat on their F-105 Thunderchief model (operated by a tiny plastic tab on the side of the plane) and a tactical nuclear bomb which could be dropped from the RB-66A model, which also featured a moving tailgun turret which allowed the guns to be aimed.
