Hi Francis,
this is a very good-looking model. I like very much these colors.
Perhaps you could drill the broken parts and insert a small metal pin to streghten the repair.
I've seen this kit (to tell the truth, an earlier version with British and French marks) on shops at 28 ?, how is it as details and fitting of parts?
Regards

Brilliant work, Francis!  It looks to me like you got the Soviet torpedo version spot on.  I look forward to your next VVS build!

thank you gentlemen,
for the landing gear probleme, i'm not courageous enought to do that . and because i dont make any comp?titions or show, it just have to stay quiete in the showcase !
fortunately i dont live in a seismic area Grin

massimo, i dont know if the A20-G and A20-B are the same quality. concerning this A20-G kit, 28$ looks to me a very good price. i paid it 30 ? in france. it's a good kit but if you like inside details it must be upgraded. carefull with the weight in the nose to make it stable on his legs. it's easy to do it with the full nose but with the glassy nose should be more delicate to do. the fitting  of this kit is very accurate and the stencils are good quality also. in conclusion, it is a very good base to make a nice boston.

Interesting photograph, Massimo!  It looks like it had the same problem with its nose gear as Francis' model.

Hi Martin,
it has traces of camouflage on the rear fuselage, and relatively dark undersurfaces. Could it be black over olive drab?

Yes,it could be.From this point of view,the vertical surface and a portion of the rudder were overpainted with black.Greetings.

Hi

just to mention that Authentic Decals from Russia have a sheet out in1/72

AD72-44    A-20 Bostons/Havocs In the Russian Sky






I found a partial photo of the white #267 aircraft with the white bird nose art. The aircraft behind it has a white band on the tail thought it might interest somebody.
