I did not know that. is there an online review somewhere ???

when I said wrong scale I meant it should be 48 both the Monogram and Great Wall kits have their "issues" hmmm....I wonder if they could be combined to fix the others mistakes ???

pity it is in the wrong scale.

Historical Aviation Album volume XV 1977 indicates the YF-3 had T3A cameras in lieu of bombs American Aviation Historical Society Journal vol 35 no 1 Spring 1990 indicates : "The XF-3 , YF-3 and F-3A were modified production A-20 used as photo-reconnnaissance aircraft. cameras replaces guns in the nose and more cameras plus photo-flash bombs were carried in the bomb bay. 51 were modified and most were A-20J's and A-20K's" (F-3A) Douglas Havoc and Boston The DB-7 and A-20 series by Scott Thompson (Crowood Aviation Series) pg 59 "the turtledeck covering between the cockpit and gunner's compartment was partially replaced by a six-panel skylight and a fuselage window was added aft of the camera compartment. pg 60 (F-3A)"These aircraft for K-19B camera or an alternate installation of K-17 or K-22 cameras. Most F-3A's were assigned to operational units in the Ninth Air Force. known F-3A serials include 43-9876, 43-21457,21461,21581 and 43-22091/22093 and A-20K 44-71/72,44-194/198,44-342/347,44-365/370, 44-707/711 44-719/728 and 44-733/734 ** and no photos or drawings of any of this sorry if this couldn't be of more help to you , Larry but, at least it is something, Sincerely, Paul

Excellent ! well done ! I think it looks good enough to be in the movies

Sorry, I seem to have many ,but none for that unit

I have several aftermarket decals for 1/48 scale Airacobras - let me look through them and I will let you know if I have any.

is that by any chance the Monogram kit? I have one release of this kit and it has those markings.

Thank You SimonT ! you found what I was looking for. @ Lawzer I have used these on a couple of Spitfires (MK Vb,VIII,IX) with good results. (sorry no photos currently available)

I do know of one in .PDF format but cannot seem to find it on my computer or the link on the net.

yeah , I don't know how any model kit manufacturer can miss it ???

for my models of "Carol's Daddy" and "Mrs. Virginia" I am planning on stealing them from P-40 kits. looks like the angle of the spine might be close enough. but, I haven't actually done it yet so I can't guarantee it will work

tell me about it ! I much prefer the original (1981?) British miniseries for HHGTTG instead of the new movie version ; the movie deviated too much from the book series.

nice job on those kits. and Thank You for building these for veterans , that is a very nice touch

thank you for that link , JWM ! there are some good photos there, one I would like to colorize.
