Yep, built the same ones... WW2 fighters/bombers... had an amazing B-17.
But I also lived at the end of the N/S runway at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque and built the jets I saw flying there, too. Monogram were a bit better than Revell, I thought.
My fifth grade teacher's brother was an aeronautical engineer, and helped design the F-89.
