I want to share some pics by Roy Cross made for the Airfix model-boxes in ~ 1970

Funny to see that most of these box-arts are Airfix model kits !!! the only one I am not sure about is the Sunderland...

Exactly, Highlander !!! I remember this one !!!

Box arts of this era were really great... but in the '80s-'90s, it became  not so good...

Excellent find, Gerax!
