I’ve always wanted to see these kits built up out of the box by the company’s builders. I know I’m not that good, but my stuff looked like a caffeinated, Tasmanian Devil built it compared to those box art builds.
Right?! I always felt like Calvin once they started putting pictures of the actual model on the box. Back when they used paintings for box art, no worries…
My reality…
This was just artistic inspiration….

I bought that kit in Silver Spring Maryland at the same time I visited the Smithsonian Silver Hill facility in the late 70's. Still haven't built it

I might do that with this MPC kit Lyle. Decals are in great shape. Entire scheme is gull grey, apparently... should be easy paint job.

OOB is hard to stick with, even for a old man such as I. What I'd like to see is a video of the manufacturer taking a production kit and build it, warts and all.
Well, is it done yet?

OOB is a bit hard to stick with indeed...

Not in my possession. There was a article many years ago in SAE iirc about it. There were a number of AMT kits that had mpc kits as box art in the 70's. Not here to argue. Believe me or don't. No skin off my back.
No, not trying to argue, I am just surprised by this! Thanks for the info!
No worries. I wish I could remember specifically but my mind just ain't on the ball anymore

That's funny, I have no problem at all building OOB. It is so easy for me to stick to it.

With aircraft I build mostly oob but cars I gotta add at least plug wires.
