I have PE sets for both and a/m markings…
I dig the NMF…can’t say that I’ve ever seen an A-20 that wasn’t green or camo of some sort.
Oh cool, good choice. Paul Budzik has got one going on you tube as well that I am following also.
Yeah right, “you dig the NMF”, what you dig is the nose art. [;)]
HAHA! I can not lie…that is a factor. I’m 50/50 on it!.
I’ve built a half dozen or so A-20’s…all have been OD or camo. NMF will be a nice change in the collection. I’m still not 100% sold on it though. All my planes are displayed angled, with the left side forward…showing off the nose art. This one is backwards!
Hmmm I’ve never built a 72nd A-20. I’ll be watching this one
Fermis ;
Hey c’mon now . Humper Beam and I both know you will get that oddside art to show .Who’re you kidding ? T.B. N.M.F? My preferred type of finish - with Foil , Not Alclad !
I have been thinking of doing a Havoc for some time. What is a decent kit?
It’ll show, for sure…you can count on that!!!
In 48th, there’s the old AMT, which I have enjoyed several times. I’ve done a couple of these MPM kits and have enjoyed them as well. They need a little “help”, but I would not call them “bad” at all.
Yeah, a friend has built the AMT A-20 kit and it’s pretty nice. Good detail and reasonable decals. I have one in my stash that I think I paid $10 at a model show back in the spring.
Just found this. Should give some historical perspective.
There always seems to be a few at the contest vendors…$10/15 is the usual.
I bought a couple, years ago (late 90’s) at a Kabee Toy’s outlet. They were going for $5…along with several other AMT kits…picked up a handfull of P-40’s too!
There was and A-20 Havoc at the Sun-n-Fun Airshow this year. I snapped one shot of it. Here it is.
Sorry for the loooong delay. I had a very busy year. With the little time I had, I figured that time would be much better spent on working on these things, rather than taking pics.
Anyway…got the pair wrapped up last night…
Beautifully done, Fermis! I like the weathering on the OD bird, and like you said, you don’t often see a Havoc finished in NMF, that was a great choice!
Those are really well done. I’m glad you finished them up.
I like the Little Chief a lot. It’s quite the subject.
My F-in-L did flight training in Florida in the P-70B. Only aircraft he ever bailed out of.
They both look so nice! Excellent build of a limited run kit.
