russ c Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Howdy Everyone, thought I`d subject you to some photo`s of my latest effort My latest go at AMT/Ertl`s 1/48th, A-20g kit Built almost completely from the box contents Small improvements include: ignition harness, covers over the shell ejector chutes under the nose ( which I noticed looking at various pic`s of Pacific A-20s )........ .......crew step ladder under port wing root, pitot on fin, antenna wires and seat belts. Also replaced all gun barrels with aluminium tube. Decals were from the kit and silvered horrendously, so don`t use Micro Set and Sol on yours if you`ve got one....... ......I normally use Klear/Future on them, why I chose to be different this time, I just don`t know? 🙄 Anyway, hope you enjoy the pic`s Thanks for looking Cheers Russ 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks both, I should`ve said in post that I spent a lot of time touching it in, though I nearly stripped them all to do the other option.🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 That is a stunna Russ, amazing how you SEA background takes on a different look to suit the subject. Perhaps it is the way you accessorise it. Looks fab anyway. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
