Print Scale 72-084: Douglas A-20

Often overshadowed by the similar B-25, the A-20 was built in fairly large numbers and used by a number of Allied nations. Though most of the press focuses on the aircraft's operations in the Pacific, it was also widely used in both Europe and the Mediterranean. Unlike the B-25, the A-20 mostly faded away post war with only a few nations operating the type.

This sheet has six options, most of them with Commonwealth air forces. Most are also Boston IIIs.

First option is an overall black P-70 based in New Guinea in mid 1943.

Second is an 88 Squadron RAF plane post D-day.

The lone A-20G is a 89th BS/3 BG aircrfat in 1944.

A fairly early Boston III is a 107 Squadron RAF from April 1942.

Fifth is a 22 Squadron RAAF aircraft based in New Guinea in mid-1943. This one will need a bit of modification to provide a gun nose.

Finally, a desert scheme 24 Squadron SAAF plane in the western desert during late 1942.

The decals are well printed and have proven to be extremely thin so one needs to be careful when applying them.
