Hey all,

Does anyone know who designs or creates the box art for Tamiya?

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,

From Wikipedia:

"On early products (1961–1967), the box art corresponded to what they distributed. The box art was mainly done by Shigeru Komatsuzaki, Yoshiyuki Takani, and others... "

Another name that came up is Shin Ueda, who as I understand is one among the early artists.

OOP but available on eBay:



Cheers,

Tat
