I've been posting box tops of old favorite models. I decided to create a thread for them.

One of my first models I ever built, and still a favorite: Monogram's Do 17:


Whole tamale:


The whole thing with one flap reoriented to view from the same angle:

Hi Fred

I've got a childhood scrapbook somewhere with some 1960s boxtops in it. I'll post pics if I come across it.

All the best

These inserts are neat, a cardboard insert of the Nichimo kankō Kate.

I must have something lying around from the 1970 ies .

If I can find them back on the attic, I'll scan them

Nice idea, Frederick!

Have also some to show but don't want to dismantle them.
Here's Pyro's Bristol Bulldog, I built for the "Fixed Gear"- Campaign. Stayed a looong time in my stash.

Multiple box tops of the same kit.








These are not, by all means, the whole lot of them either.

Yes, the Aurora Fokker D-VII art is a classic. I don't know how many of those I bought in the 50's when I was "in the money" with .49 cents going to the toy section of the local luncheonette/drug store back in East Islip, Long Island, NY.

More than one, for sure!

Thomas, that's great. I love those Pyro kits. I built the Gladiator, Bulldog and Flycatcher long ago. I am itching to build the Bulldog again - planning it for Finland or Spanish Civil War.

José,

Those are great. I haven't seen some of those. That Marder III scene is great!

Did the Bulldog in Finnish service - and the kits decals are still there and in excellent condition (for maybe another...)

While looking for a kit to participate the CBI-Campaign I stumbled on these ancient ones...
The P-36 / Hawk Model 75 / Mohawk is a Aoshima-kit

Those are great. I did not know of Aoshima's P-36.

Hi Group,

I look forward to many more submissions. These threads are popular, educational, and plain fun.

However, due to copyright concerns, please only post your own images, not ones taken from other sites, unless you have their permission or give them credit.

Hi,

Frederick

Sorry for putting AFV boxes on your Aircraft topic but I´ve had a problem with the PC I normally use and when I posted those I´ve only seen the topic title and noy the forum it belongs to.

If you want ask to a moderator to delete them.

Hi all

Obviously, I'll step in if needs be and remove any images as required by copyright without prior warning, but that would be a shame, so I'll take this opportunity to back what Fred's stated of the importance to clear the use of pictures with the copyright holders(s). If nothing else, it's just plain good manners...

As I understood it, this thread was intended to show vintage items we've got in our own stashes, so stock photos are marginally appropriate, cleared or otherwise.

All the best

Hi Tuga,

No problem, I am happy with any of them. If the concept takes off, then I'll gravitate the thread to Kitmaker's main page, or simply split the forum and start one at Armorama, etc...

Keep those box tops coming!
