Over the last year I have received many requests to add Airfix box-top art-work to this web site. It's a great idea, but a huge amount of work considering all the hundreds Airfix kits and all the different box types that were produced. However, Airfix artwork is almost classic. Plastic bag header cards have been collectable and marketable items for quite some time, but at recent Toy Fairs I have seen traders selling empty Airfix boxes. Most people agree that the artwork of Roy Cross symbolises Airfix at its best - hence the request for access to that nostalgia. There are, unfortunately, a number of practical problems to be overcome in setting up an Airfix Picture Gallery -

• Great artwork requires great imagery. And for PCs that means good digital pictures, which in turn means large file sizes. Large files take a long time to download.
• I simply don't have enough kits to create this Gallery from my own resources.
• This web-site runs on a free ISP service, and I've almost used up my disk allocation!

So here's the solution (with reference to the above problems):

• I'll create a Gallery, tell you where to find it, and allow you to download pictures at your leisure. It will not be part of this site. This page will simply be a Contents and Index.
• You'll supply the pictures! Over 25% of the pictures on this site were provided by other people, and I've tried to give acknowledgements where I can. Send me good quality images of "classic" artwork and I'll add them to the Gallery. (by "classic" I'm meaning specials, originals, Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Roy Cross and anything else I define as classic!)
• I'll use another web space where disk space is available. But as this will still be limited, I'll have to "rotate" the pictures, with only a subset available at any time. I will not normally repeat imagery that is already on the web site in a smaller format, unless the full-size original is something special!

Here's how it works -
The gallery is located at members.lycos.co.uk/djairfix/dbjames/images/
This page will tell you what pictures exist, and what their sizes are. OK?
