1/72 Replacement cowls for revell Boston V??

Recommended Posts

So once upon a time,  I started building the above and tried to put the little bumps on the cowl.... didn’t go well.... at all

 

anyone know of a resin replacement? I found some for the italieri A-20G but A) don’t think they are correct for the model I am building B ) I don’t know if they would fit the revell kit?

 

any help would be great!

Is the Revell Boston V the old Matchbox kit?  In which case the kit cowlings were described as too large, so the Italeri (MPM, I presume) are a better starting point anyway.  How this would affect the meeting between cowling and nacelle I don't know, but rather fear...

It’s the revell boxing of the MPM kit that I have (too my knowledge) is the italeri the MPM kit as well? Cheers for the reply Graham.

I believe so.  Mine is the original Special Hobby (i.e. MPM) so can't be sure.  I believe that the engine cowlings should be the same for the A-20G and J.  They certainly look to be.

Well that’s good news, I may just take a punt on the ones I’ve seen then. Cheers

revell's Boston V is same kit as MPM/SHB's A-20J/K. A-20Gs on latter brand have same cowlings, even same instruction....I have a VVS A-20G and an MTO A-20B, which have early type cowling without bumps. Don't know how to align the bumps...still on my stash. Once read there still no replacement parts yet...Hope Quickboost will release one.

The resin cowling for the Italeri kit will not fit on the Revell/MPM one for one important reason: they are in different scale ! Italeri never issued a 1/72 kit, their only A-20 is the 1/48 one originally released by AMT (and that Revell also issued some 10 years ago)

The resin cowling for the Italeri kit are by Quickboost
