Very sad to hear that we’ve lost another Legend of aviation art with the passing of Roy Cross at the age of 100. Roy was of course the chap who painted Airfix’s box art during the glory days and inspired most of us current aviation artists in our youth. For me his 1/24 kit Hurricane painting was one of his best. I remember receiving this kit twice for Christmas and both times just spending hours starting at the box art! What was your favourite of his?

Roy, you were an inspiration to us all, RIP.”
