It might not be enough on its own to challenge the massive air superiority of her husband, but Mrs. Monster has built her first airplane.
This jet is based on the Royal Air Force Red Arrows. I love the angled vertical stabilizer.

LEGO tank with full interior by mad_a0
Flickr newcomer mad_a0 recently exploded onto the scene with this awesomely detailed minifig-scale tank.
Very cool, certainly, but what sets this tank apart is that mad_a0 has built a fully detailed interior. Most LEGO tanks are lucky to fit a minifig driver, much less components like a removable engine.
The exploded view itself is a study in excellent presentation. See more photos on Flickr.
Mecha ambush in the jungle
Carter Baldwin presents a jungle ambush scene involving the attack by two suited mechas on a tank. The action is well defined and the jungle ruins atmosphere is no short of exotic.
Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX by Lego Monster
We generally don’t blog two planes by the same builder two days apart, but this Spitfire by Ed Diment (Lego Monster) is too gorgeous to pass up.
The plane has a three-stud-wide fuselage, great camouflage, and a beautiful profile.
Douglas C-47 Dakota
With the second LEGO Military Contest wrapping up tomorrow, it seems that it’s a week for planes.
Motor.On‘s entry is the Douglas C-47 Dakota transport, used by Allied forces during World War II and the Berlin Airlift.
Siskind’s B-25 Mitchell Bomber
It seems to be a day for airplanes! This gorgeous B-25 Mitchell, by Dan Siskind, is a great one. Besides the plethora of dark green, the details on this lady are spot on.
LEGO E-3 Sentry
Justin Vaughn has posted a stunning rendition of the E-3 Sentry AWACS. Great looking creation and excellent presentation. I also like that the radome actually rotates.
Best in Show in CBCBC
David Luna took the honors in BrickMania‘s Custom Brick Community Building Contest with this WWII battle scene. He packed quite a bit of action in there!
LEGO M1A1 Abrams Battle Tank
Ralph Savelsberg gets ready to put the hurt on with this gorgeous rendition of the M1A1 Abrams. Can I use the word ‘gorgeous’ to describe a tank? I think so…

Space marine light assault vehicle and instructions
Tyler Clites has built the space marine light assault vehicles (SMLAV) inspired by the Warthog from Halo. By popular demand, Tyler created a set of quality instructions available for purchase at a very reasonable price of $5. Having built the SMLAV from his instructions, I can say that parts for the model are easy to acquire and the model itself is very solid.
Check out these fun variations of the SMLAV and military variants.
Martin B-26 Marauder medium bomber by Ralph Savelsberg
Ralph Savelsberg (Mad physicist) proves once again that he’s one of the best LEGO aircraft builders with this B-26 “Marauder” bomber from World War II.
An entry for the second LEGO Military contest on Flickr, and has working landing gear and bomb bay doors.
I also realized recently that we’ve never properly blogged Ralph’s minifig-scale vehicles, so here’s a selection of his excellent emergency vehicles from a few months back:
The brick-built patterns on the British ambulance and patrol car are especially noteworthy.
