So, what's everyone's favourite model box art. I personally LOVE this from airfix.



That's just fantastic

Jack,
Over the years I've bought hundreds of models, and therefore has seen more then my fair share of box art. The newer the release, the better the box art generally is. Academy's F4B is outstanding,



With that being said, the box art has little to do with my decision to purchase the kit. Actual in box and build reviews do.
Joel

This is such an enormously difficult task picking out just one. Especially from this artist (who is my favorite aircraft artist) Koike Shigeo. He has had soooooo many absolutely awesome pieces grace the tops of Hasegawa boxes for so long. But this one always sticks out as one of my favorites.

Maybe some vintage is allowed.
These are my favorites
Both still unbuilt and complete.



My precious...

I love box art from old kits, the ones of my dads generation.
Not an aircraft but one of my favourites will always be the boxart from the Airfix Orion Pan-Am Shuttle from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
