Revell's 1/72 A-20C Havoc/Boston III.

by Bob Torres on January 23, 2023 · in Aviation — 31 Comments

This is an old build that I made back around 1988. I remember having a great time building this kit. I recently gave this a good clean and repaired a missing aerial and loose main wheels. Not too bad for a model made 35 years ago. Back in [...]

1/48 AMT/ERTL Boston III (early) – Desert Air War Group Build

by Eric Berg on November 18, 2022 · in Aviation — 50 Comments

The DB-7B/Boston Mk III was the exported British version of the Douglas A-20C mid-1941. So many Bostons were modified and assembled on British airfields and elsewhere that it can be difficult to pinpoint the actual airframe model just by [...]

Lots of aftermarket items added to this build. The engines, cowlings, propellers, control surfaces, cockpit, control panel, guns, and wheels. Foxbot decals were also used to replace the kit ones. I fabricated the pitot head on the fin, [...]

A-20B, “Miss Burma” of the 86th Bomber Squadron, 47th Bombardment Group, based in Italy in 1943.The curious thing about this plane is its name, given that it served in the Mediterranean rather than the China-Burma-India [...]

1/48 AMT P-70 Nighthawk

by Tom Bebout on October 9, 2016 · in Aviation — 21 Comments

Finally pulled this off the shelf to complete my A-20 series of aircraft. I discovered that working with black is about as difficult as working with NMF. This model represents a P-70 that was with Detachment A, 6th Night Fighter Squadron [...]

Douglas A-20 in 1:48 from Italeri

by Ulf Lundberg on June 12, 2016 · in Aviation — 24 Comments

The Douglas 20, sometimes called ”Boston”, sometimes called ”Havoc” is a bit of an unsung hero. This, and its kool looks, were the main reasons I wanted to build a model of it. It served in the French, the British, the Soviet and [...]
