The worst box art

[PR19_Kit]

Hah! 

Andy Pack Models, he's not far from me in Ross-on-Wye and he STILL owes me a Vampire T11 kit from yonks ago. It kept being a Yak 23 in a T11 box, and I took it back THREE times!

Not the best dealer I ever came across..........

I remember seeing this one a few years ago.



I also know a guy who built one and actually had to scratchbuild almost all of the model due to the horrendous fit and shape of the parts that came with the kit. From what I gather, he only managed to use about 9 of the kits parts.

But, if he'd used what was in the box, would it have looked like the box art?

Maybe it was a Vampire T11 in the box but it just looked like a Yak 23?

That's possible of course, the rest would have been flash. 

An assistant in the shop once let me into what they laughingly call 'The Stock Room'. I've got around FOUR times the number of kits in The Loft as they had in there.

Andy Pack was associated with the notorious "Dodgy" Derek Dunham, infamous for taking orders and the cash then not sending the kits.  There were allegedly people looking for him who were going to do him serious physical damage.

I just remembered I could have a serious contender: The Palinton Lituanica. 



It has even a content, some sort of half transparent vacuform.

That Bellanca looks like it's moulded from very thin plastic. 

If you actually want to build one I'd recommend the Khee-Ka kit:

Here's one I noticed on the box art of an old Sears brand air brush.... See if you can spot the mistake..

No mistake at all! The guy probably has a very long middle finger.

[TheChronicOne]

Freakish!!!  lol   

[The Rat]

That line isn't the top of his index finger, it's the air hose. Still an awkward way to hold it.

[TheChronicOne]

That's not it.. LOL   Look closer.... he's trying to trigger using his middle finger and has his index finger wrapped around the bottle.

And here I was thinking it was the "No compressor needed"

That's another thing... at first I was thinking of those weird little contraptions where one literally puts their mouth on the tube and blows through the hose.. (I can't think for the life of me what it's called or who makes it  ) but I found they mean little aerosol cans type deals.  CANS OF AIR!  (I'm still new to all the airbrushing stuff, so it was news to me..  LOL  )   

I'd rather use a temporary storage tank, fill it up with compressed air from my 8 gallon compressor, then, use the temp tank with a regulator/trap on the hose just before the brush.  I figure I could get at least a few minutes out of it... rather than pay for CANS OF AIR.

Nothing to do with fingers. They've spelt colours incorrectly
