Poor War hawk twisted its ankle.

 

But at least it has four wings.

Sorry, no idea, guess we will know when the kit hits the market.

Now if we speak about ugly boxarts, this one must be included. Interestingly, this isn't from 1960s - it's a kit that just entered the market...

I think we have a winner here.  Is this an egg plane kit?

This one is baffling but had me in stitches. I never realised the YF-23 did the twist as it flew. Obviously a secret method to help negotiate craggy terrain.

I thought sideways lift was highly desirable.

That Revell 1/144th F-104 looks awful! I'm guessing it was aimed at the under-14's market, who probably wouldn't have cared less about accuracy (or a real lack thereof).

 

I thought the Airfix kits issued with a photograph of the actual model on the lid were pretty bad - just not a good way to sell the contents. 

 

Cheers. 

 

Chris.

Amending some information.

Trumpeter F-8j

Worlds largest aircraft carrier in background? Look at the size of that A-4 and blast deflector compared to the surrounding...acreage.

Is the F-8 taking off from the fantail, or landing on the bow? Maybe VTOL?

Wheels down, flaps down, wing raised, full burner. Apparently somewhere over the island. 

Is that a wood deck???

 

Forced perspective is not this artists strength...

I found this one a bit strange, not the one in foreground but the one in the upper left being chased by a pair of SAMs and AAA and others being blasted from the sky:

That's what happens when you exceed max stick deflection while rolling.  Adapted from the Dash-one?

So long!  Good luck!

Funny!   I never noticed the rubber raft.

neither did the pilot

See you, wouldn’t want to be you!

The tiny, rubber saving high pressure tire

is born.  Who is the shorter pilot?  A Japanese pilot before trying out his new ride.
