Hey all!

I have recently purchased the Italeri A-20G (kit nro. 2637) and I wish to make it a torpedobomber, as many of the G-models became. What modifications Soviets made to transport regular bomber into torpedo bomber? Atleast I must build torpedo hangers and shut the bomb gap.

Thanks in advance!

Here are a few shots of soviet torpedo bostons - note torp shackles could also be used for bombs













And don't forget the navigators additional three windows in the rear fusealage

Thank you Greg for those pictures, but I have already found them. I do need more precise help which conversions were made, since I'm not that good I could say the difference between normal and torpedo bomber bostons. So far I've found following conversions: Bomb bays shut, torpedo rack and navigators windows.

Hi Tuomas,

you might want to get a look here:

It's in russian but it's full of pics of a Matchbox 1/72 boston torpedo bomber in construction.

Hoping this helps.
