    Just caught up with this build, Spiros @fiveten
    Good that you got this one back on your bench.
    Added sparkplugs look great.

    A note for those with AMT A-20 kits. The Vector Resins cockpits, nose compartments, engines and control surfaces are still available at Linden Hill Imports (they really improve things - if you only have one A-20 to do, you want to consider using them). However, since Sergey is Russian, and due to "recent events" there won't be any restocking of items that sell out for the foreseeable future, so what they have is limited to "stock on hand." If you have any other kit you have been thinking of using Vector stuff on (it's all some of the best out there), the same applies.

    @fiveten - "May you live in interesting times" turns out not to be an "ancient Chinese curse." It is, however, definitely a curse. 🙂

    Engines attached...

    Fit is challenging, the gaps have been treated with liquefied styrene... Thanks for stopping by!

    @fiveten - moving right along Spiros! You’ve inspired me to immediately start my tropical Havoc the minute I return home. I just scored the Vector cockpit set for this last night from NeOmega resin in the UK. Vector stuff does seem to be flying out the door as TC said.
