Just picked up the June issue of Wings Magazine that contains a fascinating article about Revell artist Jack Leynnwood. Leynnwood painted a massive amount of box art for Revell spanning the 1950s through the mid-70s. I always found his box top paintings totally captivating and would often buy a Revell kit just because of the cool picture, even if I had no interest in the subject of the model itself. Although this article only focuses on his aviation art, Leynnwood also produced box art for Revell's ship and car models. If you were around in the early days of plastic modeling, this article should be a pleasant walk down memory lane.
