Yes, Michael, Revell Ki-84 box art was by Brian Knight, and it invited me too. I thought I had presented it on this site but a search (not until the cows came home though) did not reveal it. It might be out there still lurking in a blog post without Hayate or Ki-84 in the title but in the meantime I'm going to add it to this blog post for the memories. One of my favourite Revell small box art works fondly remembered and always a delight to see.<br />Regards<br />Nick<br /><br />PS Would you believe that Google makes me prove that I'm not a robot to add comments to my own blog!

Since my interest in Japanese aircraft was as early I own(ed) most of them. The Revell 1/72 had a fabulously inviting box art (Brian Knight, I guess) and the Tamiya kit was the only one available in 1/48 for a long time, although closer to 1/50 in most dimensions. How I loved the Aircam series, besides the Profile Publications a benchmark for painting models at that time.
