Old model kits and box art

I was looking through some of my kits and posting pictures of them seemed kind of appropriate now. Have a couple of the old Monogram Grumman F3F kits and you can see how the box art changed over time. Kind of like the older style better. One day I have to see if I can hunt down one of the Monogram Gulf Hawk versions of this model.

Re: Old model kits and box art

Here are a couple that probably will never be made in diecast.

Re: Old model kits and box art

Combat gliders are something I think might actually sell pretty good as far as diecast goes. I know I could go for a few of these and the transports that towed them.

Re: Old model kits and box art

Great idea CC, hope you have lots of kits to show us. This could be a real trip down memory lane.

These older kits were a whole lot of fun. Also have a couple of new kits with some pretty good box art.

I have a bunch of Airfix kits and will get some shots posted. See what British aircraft models I have and snap some shots.

Re: Old model kits and box art

Here are some newer kits by Eduard and have some pretty good box art. These are also some pretty top notch kits too. They come with photo etch and also masking materials.

Re: Old model kits and box art

Airfix kits, spent quite a bit of time building these as a kid.
