<-- **** DONE: 1:48 A-20G Havoc - Twin Engined Aircraft of WWII

[T Bolt]

User Name: T Bolt
Name: Glenn
Category: Advanced
Kit: AMT A-20G Havoc
Scale: 1/48th
Accessories: True Details wheel set and scratch built improvements on the nose


This build will be of "Little Joe", an A-20G from the 389th Squadron, 312th Bomb Group, 5th Air Force.

The display of this aircraft in the Air Force Museum is one of my favorites so I just have to use the kit decals that match it. I have several drawings of this particular aircraft and of course plenty photos of the Air Force Museum's aircraft. (not sure if it is the original markings for that particular aircraft) but I have yet to find any period photos of "Little Joe" so and pictures or info would be welcome.

Lovely one Glenn, so you going to do the diorama as well!!

Thought about that for about a minute then thought "Where will I find the extra time to do it?" and 'Where do I put it when its finished?"

The A-20 Havoc (aka Boston) was a great airplane. Too bad so few remain...

I've attached a rare (but fuzzy) color photo of a Royal Navy Boston. It certainly would be an interesting one to model. The aircraft was based in the Shetland Islands during WWII. The only other naval usages of the Havoc /Boston was by the USN (as target tugs), NEIAF and the USSR.
