where's the box art?

I have fond memories of the old..ish Heller boxes with the dramatic drawings of Francis Bergese. That drawing he did for the Canadair CL-215 is simply out of this world...

is that an Accurate Miniature Avenger, nsclccti? The one i got didnt have any box art either. Hey, did you get out to BlueGrass Airport to see the B-17 and the B-24? I am going up tomorrow. Was going today, but didnt get out rehab until later than i thought/

If you have access to USENET newsgroups, keep an eye out in either alt.binaries.pictures.misc or alt.binaries.pictures.aviation for the "Air Combat Art" series. Periodically reposted about every 3-6 months, it consists of about 2K images that cover the full range of subjects from pre-WWI to modern day, all services, most countries.

Hey all,
My local hobby shop still has a few remaining Avengers by Accurate that are still boxed and yes it has the box art!!.
Come to think of it, when AM came out w/ there double kit feature of the Avenger, it was only a side profile drawing of the bird.
I guess you can say that thats their way of saving some $$ by not having any box art.
I hope this is not going to be a continuing trend w/ other mfgs?.
Flaps up, Mike

It takes weeks to do decent box art ( I am looking at the Showtime box cover in a frame over my workbench) and it takes 1/500th of a second to take a photograph of a finished kit,
economy is necessary in every industry nowadays ,but at least the Hasegawa 190-d9 had some nice art on the box
