While success rates vary year-to-year, approximately 10-15% of the full proposals submitted are selected for an award. Per the NSF's Program Solicitation document, "the SBIR/STTR Phase I Programs are highly competitive. "The NSF follows a rigorous review process, approving a small number of the full proposals. We are especially thankful to Northern Digital for their support with this application.
"It's a significant endorsement that speaks to the caliber of our team and ideas as well as the tremendous efforts our company is making to further the field of orthopedic medicine. "It is an incredible honor to be chosen for such a prestigious award," said CEO Ben Sexson.
Monogram has filed for patent protection for these novel concepts. I think that's all I can add, I hope you like it and appreciate the time and effort that was put in this model.Monogram is pleased to announce that it has received an award notice from The National Science Foundation (NSF) for its application "Development of a tracking system for computer-assisted surgery." The SBIR Phase I award will support the research of a novel Monogram tracking system designed to mitigate the occlusion limitations of conventional line-of-sight systems while reducing the OR footprint, lowering capital cost, and minimizing patient trauma associated with secondary incisions. However, The yellow and red decals were trash, they were not printed over white, so when you apply them over a dark surface they get kinda lost, they are very hard to see, I should have painted the tail numbers tho. Many aircraft profiles and also monogram had incorrect colors and numbers for this exact aircraft, thankfully monogram had enough numbers to have them correct. I also painted the tail markings to better represent the 418th Night Fighter Squadron. When you're done, the only thing left to do is moist the surface with water to reactivate the hairspray and with a chopstick start scratching the surface revealing the metallic paint underneath. To chip the paint I used the hairspray technique, first apply primer followed by any metallic paint you want to show through, then 2 or 3 light coats of hairspray decanted into my airbrush and finally al the paint job. I had to fill the gaps with plastic cards and Tamiya putty to make a smooth transition.įor the painting I used Tamiya and various shades of gray and black, I used German gray, Ocean Gray, deep-sea blue with black and white to play with various tones, I tried to look for a cold hue as you can see. The wheel wells were empty cylinders, I tried to make them look "realistically" busy, is not my best work, but at least that's better than what came with the kit, As you may have known, the monogram P-61 has its major problem with the clear parts, they are really poor quality, but not because of the transparency (which is pretty good) but the fitting with the fuselage. As you can see, I tried to improve the wing intakes as they were flat walls with almost no detail, most of that work was made out of thin plastic cards and plastic tubes cut in half. First of all, I am going to show some improvements I did to this model, like riveting and full re-scribed panel lines, cockpit, Wing intakes, right open engine, main wheel wells, and canopy fitting.įor the engine I used a spare quickboost B-26 marauder resin engine, sanded it and detailed it to look right. This took me over a month to finish and I’m really proud of the result.
This has been an extensive project, this kit's molds are dated to 1974 and needs a lot of work and sanding to make it look acceptable.
