Box Top #6


Here's a fantastic piece of box art from Aurora that I found over at the Nostalgia On Wheels blog and I'm guessing the model was the Honda Hawk. Upon closer inspection I noticed that the artwork was signed by none other than Mort Kunstler. I had no idea that he worked at Aurora. If you're not familiar with Mort Kunstler's work, check out some of his fantastic illustrations at :

Kit Car


Long before Carroll Shelby's Cobra became the most prolific kit car on the planet, AMT released this D.I.Y offering for aspiring sports car drivers.

I have posted this box art previously but thought this better scan was worth sharing.
