Re: Old model kits and box art

How many folks have ever built any of the Heller 1/50th scale models. They are pretty nice kits, nothing fancy, but still pretty good kits.

Re: Old model kits and box art

Here is a neat kit, it comes with two models. It is also one I would like to see done in diecast (Ok, there is a whole bunch I would like to see done in diecast.).

Re: Old model kits and box art

Williams Bros. had some interesting looking models. Have to get around to making this one.

I have been toting some of these kits around for an awful long time. Have a multiples of several airfix kits. Back in the early seventies my father found and old hobby shop that was selling and picked up a few boxes of Airfix kits for probably close to 20 cents a kit. I made a bunch, but saved quite a few for a rainy day.

Re: Old model kits and box art

Here is a neat one. I remember for awhile Matchbox made some 1/72nd kits molded in two colors.

It used to really catch my eye when I was a kid, and still does. Over the past few years have noticed some pretty nice box art on the current models that are available.

Re: Old model kits and box art

This Gartex model is nNot an example of box art, but a real fine kit. This like Trimaster was one of the earlier multimedia kits. It comes with both resin and white metal parts.
