No doubt part of an “exchange program” proposed by their good friend Nancy.
What a cheek !
Making of Red Dawn III?
I wonder what the luggage fees are to fly that into San Francisco or Oakland.?
Future plans? 6 months maybe a year after it could look like that.
What in the CCP propaganda is that!?
Aight, time to start a company called Toronto Modelwerk and release boxart of a LAV 6 at the gate of the forbidden city.
I did not catch that at first ! Lol maybe they’ll come to the US for joint exercises in the near future?
Just buy another M1A1, Leopard, or any other similar NATO looking kit, and apply CCP decals.
Supposedly, it’s for a fictional setting in 2030 when the US Army and Chinese Army have joined forces to fight invading aliens (ET kinds not the illegal migrants). PMMS - Terry A
I won’t be buying this model but interesting concept. Not sure a good marketing concept to get non-domestic crowd?
I thought about Red Dawn 3, too. 
I heard it depicted a captured tank after the failed invasion of Taiwan… Being paraded in SF.
Whatever, fantastic boxart, look at the discussion it’s generated!
well… it’s certainly special… and yes, a bit stupid too.
I wonder how a Type 59 model of one of the non-Chinese manufacturers with boxart of the famous scene on Tiananmen square would go down with the Chinese…

Someone has a sense of humour.
I got a TOW round for that a@@hole.
They didn’t study their subject carefully though,
The pylon to the left (north side) is very close to shore, the pylon on the right (south, by Battery Park) is out in the water though.
The boxart has the north pylon out in the water, the south pylon is hidden
Very childish from Border and I am disappointed because they are a great model company but (louder for those at the back) MODELS AND POLITICS DO NOT MIX.

For a company whose name is “Border” their own notion of border looks to be rather vague…
H.P.
Well, with that box art, I’ve crossed Border Models off my list of suppliers.
Yup…get a grip…its just boxart
People are sailing in the bay…the city is not burning…
All is good in this fictional scene designed to market a plastic kit to adults…
Though there could be some harmful traffic violations being conveyed in the art…
Snarky, superior folks on internet messageboards maybe? Nah, cant be bothered mate.
All signs point to yes.
Wow, I can understand why many people are angry, especially in the current climate. I wonder what Border were thinking? This hobby is all too easily misunderstood or misrepresented without provocative nonsense inflaming people. Keep calm and carry on gents.
As I said before I didn’t even notice it at first ( I definitely would have if it was the NYC skyline lol) but I’m not bothered by it; as has been pointed out there’s no destruction shown. And there are a bunch of other things one could to be upset about that are more important I suppose. I won’t be boycotting any Border products. I’m sure it will sell ok.
How many times did that reptile wreck Tokyo??
I hope the Chinese communist regime wasn’t influencing Border models to print such provocative box art. They got other “real world” dirty things to do, right like 18Bravo said - genocide, slave labor, laying heavy debts on African countries, border disputes, IP violations, unfair trade practices, and lately dirty fixing of the Winter Olympic Games.
Maybe Border will change the box art. We shall see.
O, yeah, and they have to live up to their reputation of one of the most hated countries in the world.
Some of it will have to wait til after the Olympics lol!
