| The Revell and "Blue Box" Monogram box art of the 60s and early 70s (before they went "white-box and photos") was top-notch in my book... Always some action going on... I cut the box art out and taped it to my bedroom walls back then, lol... Good times, they were... |

This sounds so much like my childhood. Those blue boxes and the Revell box tops were indeed top notch. I still find myself scrolling through eBay and sorely tempted to bid on a particular kit of that era because of the box art alone. I used to cut the box art out and my dad mounted all of it on huge poster boards that he took to his lab at Shell Chemical in Houston and displayed for all those scientific types he worked with.
For my all-time favorite box art, I pick the Revell 1/32 P-40E that featured a Flying Tiger as it had just engaged some kind of Jap bomber, I think a Betty. I don't know who the artist was but I do know that I built that kit several times as a kid and bought it all the time because of that box art.
