AMT/ERTL's 1/48 scale A-20G Havoc is available online from Squadron.com

The Model

This is the 1/48 scale A-20B/C Boston from AMT/Ertl in 1/48^th scale converted to "A" version. The conversion was based on pictures in the Squadron "In Action" series although, to tell the truth, the only changes were new exhaust pipes and an engine addedfrom Accurate Miniatures' Avenger.

I also used Eduard Photo-Etched parts from set no. 48151.

The depiction of the corrugated metal surface requires plenty of patience. It was only achieved after many  time-consuming experiments. In my opinion, this  is the most complicated task of any modeling finish.
