vince14 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Airfix may have been tapping into a newsreel/news paper image going around at the time. There's a shot of an English farmer watching a Lightning crash in his field , complete with pilot riding the seat. There's more info on that picture here.

capt_doug Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) New member here saying hello! Veb/KVZ/Plasticart always had truly awful box art.The An-12 box top was one of my personal favorites.The paratroopers look like gingerbread men. I bought this kit from Archer's Hobby World back in 1980.My brother and I made the mistake of opening the tube of paint included and the smell almost took us out!

riffraff Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I hope that is mattress under the tank. It appears that the parachute didn't deploy when it left the airplane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exhausted Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Isn't that a type of rat unique to that desert? The feet may be a little bit large, but not by much for that particular species. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
