Jean: Thanks very much for that boxtop. I have 4 of those in my collection but I do not think any have the original artwork. Somewhere I have a very old...
Michael; I had the Magister/Venom pair and the F-84/P149. The Piaggio always reminds me of the Ryan/N.A. Navion. My only quibble with these neat little kits...
Hello Boxsters, After a weeks hiatus the FD is back with a new installment for your viewing pleasure. This week the Chairman presents a nice oldie from...
Wonderful! Lived close to a little ariport where my godfather had a real one of these we flew around in! Great classic 50s style "aviation is fun" art!...
Hi Guys- Our friend (And Michael Bludworth's good friend!), noted artist, author and pilot, Craig Kodera, is thinning his kit collection, and is offering his...
Hi Guys- Preparing a video on this kit; box art, vintage TV clips featuring the model, etc, and I need the original 1957 price tag. I'm guessing around...

The penultimate example is Aurora ME-109. Great art of a BF-109G or something like it being shot down on the box (is the kit airplane being shot down in the...
Christian; Well, off the top of my head... The Revell Jet Power and Air Force Academy Series models (some later reissued as the Jet Commando series during...
I have always liked all the ITC kits I've had...okay, so the cam-a-matic kits didn't always have the greatest fine detail, but they were fun! Ken ... From:...
Carl: Geeze! I have always thought that the Aurora Type IXC-40 U-boat kit was one of the best models ever made, and probably Aurora's best ever! The box art...
Great thread! Here's my contribution: Anyone who builds/ collects kits based upon the 1960's Gerry Anderson TV shows (Like Thunderbirds) knows the pain of...

... Two that I can think of: Stingray - "Stand by for action!" (another great theme song) Space: 1999 I loved the Gerry Anderson stuff as well, and have firm...
Robert; Exactly which version of the "Uberseekuh" the Aurora kit is supposed to be remains a pretty good question. U-505 is a IXC-40, as you state; I call the ...
Graeme; I know what you mean. Things weren't made any better by the design of the vehicles themselves, either. According to Derek Meddings, they were very ...
Christian; IIRC, there was also a show called "The Secret Service", which was somehow related to Joe 90. (Or was that an alternate title for Joe 90? Never...
Carl: All I can say is WoW! To do all that - and for that scale ... geeze! Now 1/72 I could understand, or somewhat. And I think you can get a 1/72 U-boat kit...
Good Monday Boxsters, I hope all the Dad's out there had a nice Father's Day. This week the Chairman sends us an oldie from fan favorite Monogram. This weeks...
Jean, Love the Tijuana Taxi... all those 'funny car' kits, actually. I plan to get started on my own T.J. Taxi kit as soon as I finish my Big Daddy Roth...
Hi folks, Since I'm a dufus pretty-much in the boxart dept, I have an observation about those kits. I did not know that the kit box for the US and Canadian...
But of course! Most Aurora kits have small differences between the US and Canada. Obviously this is the legally required stuff. So many places demand that...
know much about the Kittyhawk brand of models? Specifically their F-94C? Just discovered some on Ebay out of Hong Kong in 1/48th scale. I want one! DANNY K....
Christos & Michael; I used to own a Canadian release Aurora P-26 Peashooter kit, that went to a deserving collector on eBay. Its boxart showed the P-26...
That's a good example of the same thing, although I never bought that kit or even saw it on the shelves, way back when, I did see the box eventually - in the...
