Roy Cross Tribute in 1/24 using Classic British Kits -- the full set

[Matt Bacon]

Three displays based on classic 1960s boys' magazine covers in a tribute to legendary Airfix box artist and illustrator Roy Cross, who died this year aged 100.

The second picture, from the higher angle, is the best representation of how the real magazine covers look.

I most certainly will.... Classic British Kits SIG display this year is a Roy Cross tribute, and I fancied trying something different from Airfix Box Art...
