I think this box should be posted here.
It is a MGC ABS CP XM177E2 modelgun kit. I suppose this was made in the early / mid 1990s
It is interesting to see the comic style pictures showing SGT Tony Meserve (Sean Penn) from Casualties of War and SSG Bob Barnes (Tom Berenger) from Platoon. I like the 1990s style and some "Japanese wisdom" printed above the MGC logo.
My favorite box. I really like it.

MGC art from that period is awesome! Thank you for posting, I haven't seen this box before.

Thanks a lot for sharing!
The box art is certainly an odd combination of a well done rendering of a military weapon coupled with the cartoonish caricatures of the movie cast members. Far more interesting to look at than the plain brown boxes of today.
