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

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

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).

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

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 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.

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!
