1/48 A-20G Havoc

Are you sure that pic isn't an A-26 Invader?

Sure looks like it but this is what came from the 416th BG. site.

There is another photo right below this one that looks more likely

Just the box art got me going. Then I saw the dash work - very very good. Talking of artwork, any thoughts on the choice of finishes?

The photo you have there is of the A-26 that the group converted to later on. The shot of the olive drab craft is the A-20 with the figure sitting in an upright position. Here's the link. 416th Bombardment Group

Well done Aaron!!!!!!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you David, at the moment I am looking for the decals for Miss Laid so I can finish it up.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I have been looking for decals but to no avail so will probably just go without them. I did get the fuselage stripes done though.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looking good Aaron.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thanks Andy, as soon as this set of stripes dries I will start the coats of Future so I can get the decals on. Need to see about running the copy of the mission board and reversing the colors so it's correct.

Looking real nice Aaron.

 

[Tony Hill]

Looks great....always seemed to me to say "I mean SERIOUS business", the Havoc!

 

[Airframes]

That's looking smart Aaron, nice work.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thanks fellows. I almost forgot to put the white on the rudder. OOOOOPSSSS. Was going to do it tonight and still might but company showed up and visited for awhile soooooooooo. I have searched every decal company on the net to no avail. There are three sets of A-20F3 decals out but that's it so I may just go with what I have.

 

[Wayne Little]

lookin' good Aaron, almost there now mate!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Shame about the decals Aaron, but a nice looking machine all the same.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thanks Vic and Wayne, the decals were just going to be the icing on the cake sorta speak but that's how it goes I guess. I just have to try to scan the mission board ant flip the colors on it and print another one. We'll see how it goes. At the moment I'm doing the panel line thing following your instructions Wayne. M----------------A----------------N this is tedious work.

But well worth it.

 

[Wayne Little]

Sure is worth it....

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Only if I can keep it within the panel lines. This thing has a multitude of lines and I am going blind. I am having a real hard time with all of the little circles and ovals.
