Colin @tail-dragon - yeah, I know I could have extended the oleos using the method you described but I am too lazy.
As you can see in the photo I just posted, the nose could sit higher but again, too lazy. Thanks for your suggestions.

Standing Up At Last!
Finally got the wheels and gear installed. I did move the nose gear forward as far as i could and gave it a bit of an angle but the nose is still a tad low. Again I could have cut the oleos and extended them on all the gear but a huge dose of laziness overcame me. Here's Ms. Boston standing up on all threes. Exhaust stains and more desert dust coming next. The finish line is clearly up ahead at last.
1. exhaust stack installed

2. navigation lights top and bottom painted

3. gun installed

Almost Finished!
After several months of lost interest, I’ve finally revved up the A-20 and am putting the final touches in place. Just need to attach the antenna and glue the pitot tube on top of the rudder. I lost the kit machine gun attachment so I just made my own.

Headlines coming soon!

Very nice result, Eric @eb801
Defintely an eyecatcher for the headlines and your shelf.

Looking superb, my friend @eb801! Practically crossing the finish line!

Finished at Last!

Finally! All done at last. Geez... started this a little over a year ago as part of the Desert War Group build but got sidetracked and derailed along the way. A little touch up is need here and then off to the photo room. Keep an eye out for a final posting in the headlines.

Thanks to all of you who followed along on this lengthy journey.
