My passion dates back to the late 1950s and early 1960s. I could never get enough reading about airplanes especially about World War II airplanes.
It was about my passion for aviation since 1958…
Here’s what I had written…
Monogram Models was the best model airplane kits back then. All these box arts are still etched in my mind.
When Monogram released the Avenger I had to build it.
Working features, figurines… the works!
What more could you ask out of life back then. I bought another Avenger in the late 1980s or 1990s, and it sat in his box for more than 25 years.
The box art was different, but the instructions were the same.
Now the comment…
Love it! Even just the instructions alone are a masterpiece of nostalgia.
A nice little feature article some years ago regarding one of its sister kit in the series, the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver.
