    Extracolour Paints

    Looking for a U.S. Mail order distributor for Extracolour Paints. I know they were carried by Hannants in the U.K. but I don't think they will ship flammables by air overseas. Any info will be appreciated.

    669th bomb sqn (416th B.G.) markings

    I want to build an A-20J for my neighbor who was a bombardier/navigator with the 669th B.S. in'44-'45. I need Squadron codes and colors and any serial #s and nose art info. He did not fly any assigned a/c on his 65 missions. I plan to put his wife's name on the plane for nose art. Thank You.
