YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!! - Bad Box Art

Opmerkingen

Andrzej Rygiel
Nice collection of WTF box arts 🙂. To be fair, majority of them are from the ancient era (60's/70's/80's) of modelling, nobody focused that much on what's on the box back then (but there were also really nice looking artistic pieces from those times that I remember). I'll try to find some newer (90's and onward) box arts that I consider a "failed mission in marketing" - this one is a nice example from 2021 --> Saab TF-35 Draken (Skale Wings SS-72001, 1:72), and this one a bit older (2003), but also has a high WTF factor --> Messerschmitt Bf-109E 3/4 "H..tenkrad (Academy 2214, 1:72).

Album info

These are the worst examples of box art that I could find, some you wouldn't believe any self respecting company would want their product associated with. You'd think the least they could do is employ an artist rather than the managers pre-teen nephew. Let's hope the kit was better than the box.
The vast majority are aircraft because it seems that aircraft must be harder to paint. Either that or the worst 'artists' are drawn to wingy things. Most are from the early days of model kits although some are frighteningly more recent. You’re unlikely to hang any of these on your wall unless you have masochistic tendencies.
To any art lovers, I'm sorry, this’ll hurt.
