LSP_K2 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I love the old Hawk box art, always did. spacewolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBaron Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 From memory, probably an original Matchbox Tigermoth, 1978. Bought purely because of the box art. That series of large scale Matchbox kits had the most gorgeous artwork! thierry laurent, Rick Griewski, Out2gtcha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got it, it had been opened already but was the cheapest copy of the Revell Beau that my LHS had. I think is was less than $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Have an original 1975 boxing of the Hasegawa F-104J/G, original 1974 boxing of the 1/48 Monogram Do335, and original 1973 boxing of the Revell 1/32 Mirage III, but think the oldest is the late 60’s AMT boxing of the 1/72 Hasegawa B-47E.

thierry laurent Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I guess my oldest 1/32 kit is probably that plastic Staggerwing as well. I also have some sixties 1/32 Pyro and Lindberg car kits. Regarding non-common kits I still have a Tomy Jaguar SS100 and a Craftworks resin P-40B. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ron Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Does anyone know what the release dates of these Airfix boxings are? I can't find anything on them. If I recall they were originally released in the early 60's as bagged kits. Troy Molitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
