Drawing Mistakes |
||
|
We could have placed them with the physical impossibilities but here the action is not irreal just silly or badly drawn |
||
|
We all know this model has many wrong details but here the question is : at what is the background vehicle firing ?(Airfix , Roy Cross) |
||
|
Same manufacturer(Airfix) , same illustrator (Roy Cross) and same mistake: obviously we are at the top of a hill (see the horizon behind the left crewmember and the guncarriage) and the 6lb a short-range AT gun is firing at birds ... |
||
|
Not exactly a mistake but too much confidence in Airfix R&D department let Roy Cross add the fictious Sdkfz234/4 in his P40E boxart (considering that the scene is st around 1943 , it is still an anachronism) |
||
|
Kamikaze alert ! Putting two fighting aircraft very near is a common mistake caused by the wish to have both opponents in the same picture.(Airfix Roy Cross) |
||
|
At least two mistakes in this Airfix boxart for the assault on Roman fort reissue: |
||
|
That's over the top ! Putting the launchbase onto the missile transport rack on this Airfix Craftmaster Bristol Bloodhound kit. |
||
|
A radioactive King Kong (and Fay Wray) ? That's the impression one could get from this ludicrous attempt to illustrate in the boxart the glow in the dark feature of this Aurora model |
||
|
A mistake in colours is rare . But it could happen when you ask a military specialist like Komatsuzaki-san to illustrate a SF subject . And that's how Lady penelope got her Rose-Royce in blue on this Imai boxart |
||
|
Here nothing to say : just plain bad ! (from a Polish kit of the 80s) |
||
|
A LM and Apollo CSM in white ? That's no artist mistake because the Revell kit actually depicts the never-flown prototypes. The blooper is here to put them on the Moon ! |
||
|
On this illustration from the Frog catalogue you see one of their 1/16 car kits. However not the strange effect of the windshield glass which turns the face of the driver black and white ... |
||
|
We will stop here with these color-related bloopers . Let's just hope this Revell-Lodela kit of the Japanese J1N1-S Gekko do not include instructions refering to the boxart for painting the model |
