haha, brilliant! Can't uite see the detail on the box, is that an FW190 attacking the bombers? x.x feel daft for asking, but hey..

I built the Bit O' Lace model when I was younger. It didn't quite look the same as the one on the box though.

Yeah Moggy looks alot like a 190, engine looks radial, and that distinct splash of yellow on the bottom of the engine cowl+ the muzzle flash suits a 190 gun setup.

Hi Si1va!
Excuse my english...
Oh, i remember this pic very well , because i cutted it from the box and pinned it with so many other on the walls, i also had built a model-diorama including a 190A8 by Airfix (i think, it may be A6,7,8,9, but no Dora) attacking her, hanging over my desk.
I found the picture on the Amazon-Site where you can buy the book: "The Vintage Years of Airfix Box Art": http://www.amazon.de/Vintage-Years-Airf ... 1847970761.
Citation: ".....in the 1960s, a talented graphic artist called Roy Cross was commissioned to paint some of the box art for Airfix, and for a ten-year-period he provided many of the glorious paintings seen on the boxes, setting new standards for realism and accuracy.....".
Whenever i see wonderful screenshots, paintings and so on in this forum they also remember me
of this famous boxarts. I know that my screenshot will not have the same dramatic as the boxart
by Cross, I made it two years ago with a another system...., it's the idea i was playing around...:wink:.
Greeings from Vienna,

LOL-this is brilliant
- Dunois - 12.05.2009
Oh yes
This was one of the many I did, and made my parents little bit upset because the bedroom shelves were full of planes, at the point there was no room left enough for school stuff....
