2 years ago I got to spend a few hours at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, a destination I had been long hoping to visit. Due to the limited time, I did have to rush a bit through the massive collection, spread across 5 large hangars. I had a list of aircraft I wanted to concentrate on photographing for future builds, but when transitioning over to Box Car, I couldn't help but notice a Douglas A-20 tucked to the side. While not my favorite plane, I enjoyed playing this aircraft in the video game War Thunder. I made sure to take a few pictures, and made note to look into building a model of it. Turns out Special Hobby just put out a gunship version, and Tally Ho! offered a set of decals available, so I just had to make one myself. NMUSAF has some decent pictures available, and Im sure I can get more if I contact the museum. https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/196256/douglas-a-20g-havoc/ The build will mostly be out of the box, though I may need to make modifications to match the museum aircraft.

My 1st build for this GB will be MPM's 1/72 A-20G 'D-Day Havocs' boxing, this fit nicely with my Primary Theme for 1/72 Aircraft , WW2 US aircraft based in Essex, all 4 options in the kit , 2 from 410th BG , 2 from 416th BG were based in Essex between original deployment March 1944 and August/Sept 1944 when they moved to forward bases in Normandy. And for the Sprue shot complete with PE included in the kit (this will be fun !)
