Sailorman Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I've just realised that Roy Cross .... who I'm sure will need no introduction here is 100 today! I wish him all the very best! He painted most of the Airfix box art during the 60's. Many are to be found in his books... The Vintage Years of Airfix Box Art and More vintage years of Airfix Box art. His illustrations are what attracted me to Airfix kits in my early years! One cannot underestimate the effect his paintings had on a generation of children.

peebeep Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Amazing artwork, the benchmark for all aspiring box artists. I'm sure many of them will testify that they were inspired by Roy Cross paintings. Happy birthday to the great man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
