MacStingy Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I like where this is going. There outta be a museum thread for box art, or is that asking too much? :| +1 for that. Every time I look at this thread I start to cackle away. My wife thinks I'm losing it. Love it. I'll have to go through my stuff to see what I have.

riffraff Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Not necessarily "bad" art but I found the captured moment in time so humorous I had to get the kit. I may have to get a 1/72 P-40 and do a diorama of this.

Horrido Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 To be fair, the box art on the Trumpeter kits does accurately reflect the shapeliness of the contents inside... On the "Super Fighters" F-16 vs. Su-27 box: Which scale is it, 1:48 or 1:72? They have both listed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 To be fair, the box art on the Trumpeter kits does accurately reflect the shapeliness of the contents inside... HA! I was thinking the same thing - at least the canopies... On the "Super Fighters" F-16 vs. Su-27 box: Which scale is it, 1:48 or 1:72? They have both listed! I have this kit (set), the F-16C is the Revell 1/48 kit and the Flanker is 1/72. Note the Flanker kit inside looks as bad as the box art... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beingthehero Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 It doesn't know if it wants to be a MiG-29A or a MiG-29UB. But truly the actual model is a thing of beauty itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GEH737 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 There's a bunch of Airfix builds (sorry, I don't have the link) replicating much of their older box art - really well done, and extremely interesting. Someone might have a link - it's really a fun concept. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk10 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I've been piddling around with these things for 60+ years and the box cover paintings don't mean that much to me. The boxes protect the parts until I've finished the kit, any parts not used are separated into my spare parts stash at which point the box gets trashed. (well not all of them. I've got a bunch of bagged kits hanging on a peg board in the hobby room and I keep some empty kit boxes to store the parts when I open a bagged kit and start building) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vince Maddux Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 "Commencing strafing run... guns armed: CHECK... gear down:CHECK..." :bandhead2:/> I am not a Me109 expert but,there is so much wrong here don't know where to start. landing gear is too short, props are not long enough to be noting more then a high horse power fan, That canopy may be big enough to fit the pilot's head and the nose is so big that is the engine n it was that size it would nose over on the ground!
