Full Lot Description

Airfix - Roy Cross Original Artwork, comprising: Gouache Painting for the box top of the 1968 release: 1/600th Scale German Battleship Tirpitz by Airfix Master Marine Artist Roy Cross. The image measures 27" x 15" [the largest Roy Cross Artwork ever sold by Vectis] on Artists Fine Surface Art Board & depicts the Tirpitz under attack on April 3rd, 1944 [Operation Tungsten] by Carrier Launched Barracuda Aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm. Presented in 1973 as a leaving gift to a member of the Studio tasked by Airfix to supply Artwork & Graphics it has been kept in a secure art folder since, the image therefore is as bright & vibrant as the day it was finished. The painting is featured on pages 66/67 of Roy Cross's Book "More Vintage Years of Airfix Box Art", 2014 & has recently been featured as the Star Exhibit at the RAF Museum, Hendon: "Airfix - Making History" Exhibition. Acknowledged by Roy himself to be one of his finest works commissioned by Airfix. An Iconic image in Mint condition, now Professionally Mounted & Framed. Complete with supporting literature from Roy Cross & the R.A.F. Museum. Superb.
