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 258 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (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 258 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 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. Link to post Share on other sites
B-17 23 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 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 post Share on other sites
Grunticus 1,135 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 A fine example where the box art sells the kit. Stunning. LSP_K2, John Stambaugh and Jeff T 3 Link to post Share on other sites
