    Fantastic Model Kit Reference Book
  

*by B***8 on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2015*

Having grown up with model kits in the 1960's and 1970's, I was a true Airfix fan, they were accurate models that were readily available and just at the right price for a young boy with not a great deal of pocket money. The company has passed through the years and been in an 'up and down' situation until lately it has seen a resurgence to its former 'greatness'.Author Roy Cross joined Airfix as it entered its 'golden era' of the 1960's and 1970's and he was responsible for producing the box art that drew many a wide eyed young customer to Airfix and their products, in this first volume he discusses how he evolved into an artist of some repute and went on the produce the art for Airfix's premier kits of those early years. The cover of this book is probably one of his best ever-showing Airfix's B-17 Flying Fortress delivering a bomb load and firing off every gun on the aircraft in its defence as well as flying on only three engines. As Airfix was releasing its state of the art model kits, particularly its four engined bombers, TV shows such as 'Twelve O'Clock High' enabled young modellers to take a break from the kit to watch the action on the screen.In this book the author describes how he progressed into the world of a commercial artist and came to work for a model kit company, along the way he also managed to work with some of the premier artists of the day in figure modelling, aircraft and vehicles and describes his work in bringing a new model kit from its design stage to the final package state, where the artwork of its packaging went a long way to selling the product and making it appealing. In some cases, the different model kit companies were releasing similar kit subjects, so buying a Hawker Hurricane from Airfix as opposed from Revell was probably due to the first encounter of how the kit was packaged and presented.I enjoyed this book from both a nostalgic reference of Airfix and its products in those early years to the story of how the company, once producing a product for sale, then goes about getting it packaged into an appealing form to make people want to buy it. In summary an extremely well written and laid out reference on Airfix products and their early days in the plastic model kit market. Very well illustrated and presented, the book makes a good reference and also a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Well done, Roy Cross!

    Cross gives some of the inside story
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2010*

Books on the history of model kit companies have become popular in recent years, and a segment of that interest deals particularly with kit box art.  Arthur Ward already did the definitive history of Airfix itself some years ago; now comes noted artist Roy Cross's take on the box art in this oversize book.  Aside from plentiful examples of the art we are familiar with, Cross shows the complete path from concepts to reality, including some fascinating looks at concepts that didn't make it to the boxes, and reasons why.  An index shows where any of the subjects illustrated is shown in the book.  There's a lot of nostalgia here, and it reminds me of those heady days in the `60s and `70s when it seemed that Airfix was releasing half-a-dozen new kits every month.  Recommended, if the topic appeals to you.
