sharkmouth Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) While not included in any scale Havoc or Boston kits, the A-20B had an interesting formation light pattern (seen on the A-20C and the A-20A which describes it in the manual): A-20A manual description of lights and locations - A-20B with rear firing nacelle guns as well. This one seems to have a light (formation or passing) on the top of the bombardier's section of the nose: A-20B serial 41-3040L On the A-20A (this one might have another formation of passing light on the nose above the bombardier): A-20C: Edited February 22 by sharkmouth Adding information 1 1

Now, to find images of the lower starboard wing on the A-20B! Edited February 23 by sharkmouth Adding information
sharkmouth Posted February 26 Author Posted February 26 (edited) I'm sure HK Models will release an early A-20B/C kit in 32nd scale like they announced for 1/48th scale. Here is an item I could find mentioned, but not illustrated, in several manuals... Item (4) Passing Light: The passing light! Edited February 27 by sharkmouth Adding information
sharkmouth Posted March 2 Author Posted March 2 (edited) Rear fuselage blue formation lamps. Note that the white item is a ceramic insulator for the antenna entry point: Tail... note the British Havoc doesn't have them but does have the anti-collision beacon absent on US aircraft: Edited March 2 by sharkmouth Spelling Police, just a warning!
