Roy Cross R.I.P.

just heard the sad news that Roy passed away just one day after his 100th birthday, I was going to make a happy 100th birthday video about him, but unfortunately I'm changing it to a tribute to the man who I've always said was personally responsible for me buying a lot of airfix kits!
R.I.P. Roy.

RIP Roy. Did alot of Airfix boxart back in the days, when those images drew you to buy a model. Legendary artist

Pure inspiration for a boy many years ago, fantastic box art.

too right! i bought a lot of kits due to Roys fantastic artwork

[@neilbedford5082]

Such a skilled artist, by any standards. Looking at his Airfix box art instantly takes me back 50 years to when I would study the catalogue longingly as a young lad.

so it wasn't just me who did that then!
