I dunno, those look awfully familiar for those who've built Wingnut Wings kits. While I'd rather see WnW stay in business and release ti themselves, I can certainly live with Meng doing it. On the other hand, they clearly didn't get Steve Anderson from WnW to do the box art.

Not to be too nit-picky, but the nose is too “stubby”, fuselage is too long and not tapered enough, proportionality is off in several areas, what’s with that bent sideways gunsight, the strut bracing is way off, and what’s with that unknown type of British aircraft in the background, which doesn’t resemble any known aircraft. The artwork looks a bit amateurish, unlike their very professional looking boxing of their other 1/32 scale aircraft, the ME 163. Maybe I’m just spoiled by that and the fantastic WNW artwork. But as long as the kit plastic is as good as it looks (with the exception of the cooling jacket), who cares?!!!

Since we’re picking on the box art ... why is the propeller turning but not the Oberursel ? ( spelling ?)

It is the Wingnuts kit, and as far as the box art: Who cares? If Meng paid as much as WNW did for their art, don't you think that extra cost would be passed along to you? I bought a 1/24 kit of a Nissan Pathfinder. It came in a white box with generic black lettering and a photocopied black & white image of the vehicle glued on top. I didn't need the box to be fancy because the kit is what mattered.
