Raptor01 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Saw this today and thought, 2019 release and WTF, this box art does nothing to peak my interest. Is it landing with a gear problem or is the pilot bringing up the gear too soon? Oh Well!!!! John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 In 50 years an onopened mint condition kit will be on auction at Sotheby's just because of the bad art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I think the gear angle is drawn that way to distract you from the mis-shapen windscreen * ... * TM Trumpeter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Yeah I agree, in this day and age that's some pretty nasty box art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doppelgänger Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 That artist must have flunked perspective in kindergarten! It's as though a gigantic Warhawk were either taking off or landing on a reduced size airstrip. Check how the shadows reach the base of the palm tress which are supposed to be metres away from the edge of the runway! Also, it seems to me that those poor ordies in the background have had a dump in their own pants, running away in sheer fright in order to save their lives... Such an artist.

cag_200 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Mayby the kit includes a fully retractable landing gear? That would be nice ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

breadneck Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) I`m sure the box art will look ten times better once the factory seal comes off. But is it art ? New term, box fart 😎 Edited January 18, 2019 by breadneck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ikar Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Nice reflection of the main wheel on that dusty runway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 "War Hawk"? Doh! Yeah it's bad, but I still think this one is worse: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChesshireCat Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I couldn't care less about what kind of art work is on the box! I pay for what's inside the box. Too much idol time on some folks hands! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midnightprowler Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Box art should make you want to purchase a kit. A reflection of what's in the box. If they cut corners on market appeal, where else do they cut corners? Edited February 2, 2019 by midnightprowler Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrGlueblob Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 A Trumpeter kit.. That convinces me not to buy it right there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That might put your eye out! maybe even require corrective lenses so that everything else doesn't look like a Salvador Dali painting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
