Kagemusha Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Yet another example of Hollywood re-writing history... ps. Probably being flown by Henry VIII, but that's for the sequel D.B. Andrus, alanash1963, GeeBee and 6 others 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.B. Andrus Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 That's a fantastic piece of boxart. Cheers, Damian LSP_K2, adameliclem, phasephantomphixer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Damian When I was in college, I took Art History as an elective. A visit to a local museum was part of the syllabus, so off we went one afternoon. One of the exhibits there was devoted to the work of a "hyper-realist" who painted motorcycles. Man, I honestly thought that I was looking at photographs, rather than paintings. I mentioned this to the instructor and told her how impressed that I was with the artist's work. She sorta frowned and explained that contemporary pieces like his were considered rather déclassé, and normally wouldn't be hosted in a prestigious museum like the one that we were standing in. Interestingly, in that world, the ability to "render" (her word) was assumed and not something to be celebrated. I think that conversation more or less killed high-brow art for yours truly.

Confusionreigns178 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) There's definitely something a bit off about that Lanc.... I've spotted it! The pilot's hair is longer than regulations allowed. A very serious oversight, indeed. Chris. PS: On a more serious note, I'm glad to see HK are putting more effort into their box-art. I have the B-25J Strafer and the box-art could - at best - be described as "basic". When you're spending some serious coin on these kits, a great illustration makes a lot of difference.

Confusionreigns178 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The box-art looks like it's computer-generated, to me. Having said that, it doesn't scream CG nearly as much as many box-fronts of recent years. These things will just keep getting better with time. Chris.

B-17 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The box art appears to be by Piotr Forkasiewicz. He seems to be doing artwork for all the recent HK reboxings and some stuff for Eduard. His website is worth a browse while having a coffee/beer. https://peterfor.com/ I'm tempted to buy this reboxing, but man... I was really hoping for a 345th BG boxing. I am really disappointed by the lack of 345th markings on offer for the glass nose HK B-25. I guess the wait continues for that, the B-17F rebox, and B-17 nose section kit. adameliclem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
