Several generations of young and young-at-heart modellers have made Airfix kits and, despite turbulent times in the 1970s and 1980s when the company changed ownership several times, in the twenty-first century it goes from strength to strength under the wing of Hornby Hobbies. The 1960s and early 1970s might be called the vintage years of Airfix, when some of their best and most popular kits were produced. For ten years up to 1974, renowned artist Roy Cross produced some of the stunning paintings that appear on the boxes of Airfix kits of the era. Roy set the standard for such artwork, to the extent that many are still used today, four decades later. Roy Cross's earlier book, The Vintage Years of Airfix Box Art, contained a host of the paintings he prepared for Airfix, but the unearthing of many more images in old Airfix files has enabled this entirely fresh look at Roy's work to be presented, coinciding with the seventy-fifth anniversary of the first Airfix kit. Thus the remainder of Roy's ten years' work for Airfix is reproduced here. This new compilation features many rare illustrations as well as studies and sketches that were not accepted at the time, and is beautifully illustrated with 180 colour artworks. Review: Superb Book... - A second volume of work from this renowned artist, Roy Cross's work for Airfix was always great. In this second volume he continues with a selection of his work for Airfix products over the years, not just aircraft subjects but others such as spaceships, ships, motorcycles, historic cars and some of the more interesting subjects such as James Bond and the weirdo Ton Up Tony, etc. The presentation of the works first rate and this book, along with its predecessor make a very good reference set for any Airfix buff, or anyone interested in model kits in general. The box artistry is possibly one aspect of model company's selling ploy to entice prospective buyers to their products, so the work of the artist has to be good. In summary an excellent book, rich in illustrations displaying the work of one of Airfix's premier artists. Well done, Roy Cross! Review: Amazing Art and Roy is the reason why I still ... - Amazing Art and Roy is the reason why I still love building plastic models at the age of 54. His box art grabs your imagination and inspires kids and adults to want to build them just as he draws them. One of my favorite books in my extensive collection and a must have for all scale aircraft modelers for sure. ## Features - Highlight, take notes, and search in the book ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,340,901 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #4,891 in Art Instruction & Reference #25,588 in Art History by Theme #32,760 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | ## Images ![More Vintage Years of Airfix Box Art - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YIZnDE5lL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb Book... *by B***8 on October 31, 2015* A second volume of work from this renowned artist, Roy Cross's work for Airfix was always great.

Roy Cross is the one artist who I would have paintings of in my home. Perhaps airfix could reissue the art in prints. Surely this book is another example of modeling kit genius and great value for the history of modeling. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/114855170-more-vintage-years-of-airfix-box-art](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/114855170-more-vintage-years-of-airfix-box-art) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
