Box Art
Posted by model make on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 1:37 PM

i think the Palmer kits had the best art on front.

the MPC's are close, maybe they hired the guy.

the AMT/Ertyl plain boxes and current Lindberg's

you kinda have to bring your own imagination.

if they did box art today it would be a young guy

talking on his PDA  in front of a downtown loft

with his date and the car parked at the curb.Smile

Have A Nice Day!

I would say 1960s era kits by almost anyone had the better box art when compared to the 1970s and later kit photo on the box.

spruce

it looks like MPC had two 'periods' ( gee just like classic art! ).

first was like palmer and it's artistic and brushy looking with

action in the scenes ( cars going down race track ).

then it's modern painting style with less action and a 'Pop' look.

example of second period is MPC Dodge Superbee that's available

everywhere now.

Have A Nice Day!

I'd really like to apologize now for anything I may say or do later that offends you. Thank you.

The only box i've got displayed in my model cabinet is the E-Type JAGUAR in front of the jet fighter (an old 60s box).

My all-time favorite, just because it was one of the first I did (the model, not the artwork):

Late 1960s / early 1970s Revell car kits had some nice artwork.
