Thanks my friend @airbum!

Thanks for building and sharing this, Spiros. I’ve had an AMT A-20G in the stash that needs building for 25 years. Nice to see the problem areas.

Thanks my friends @j-healy and @eb801!

John, from the so far progress, I might say that AMT Havocs are nice, solid, definitely worth building.

From a small research, it came out that there's quite a bit of aftermarket, if you are so inclined.

Building this kit feels like buillding an improved, better fitting Monogram twin engine bomber (OK, maybe the internal details lack a tiny tad...)

Eric, I have to research the life raft P-70 topic: if you ask me, I cannot imagine an operational P-70 without a life raft!

Thanks my friend @holzhamer!
it is true that the AMT Havocs build solidly and fast, especially the P-70 with the solid nose (and the all-black scheme).
Might one suppose that, though I knew it was wrong, I deliberately cut the exhaust fairings at the start, in order to take credit for redoing them? 🙂 🙂 🙂

Hi my friend @lis!

Humbrol 21 (Gloss), or 85 (Satin) or 33 (Matt): basically whichever tin of them is opened! Of course, I prefer the gloss, as I do not have to apply gloss varnish for the decals! But all three work good. Gloss 22 tends to have a (very slight-ish) blue hue, so I also use it for my Japanese blueblack cowlings!

85 and, especially, 33 have the "feature" of being able to be sprayed in an uneven matter and I use this feature to create slightly "uneven" surfaces.

I am not into "panelling" with lighter shades, but some fine guys here do so and their advice might be helpful!

Thanks my friend @holzhamer!
I have even thought of applying extra dark gray dry pastels!

Looking good @fiveten!

The engines received spark plug wires...
