Forgot to mention that the A20 was modified and used by the British as a night fighter designated Havoc II. The night fighter was later redisignated as a P70 by the US.

P70 info is here:

TYPE Remarks
P-70B-2 A-20G and -J; trainers for P-61

The A-20 was used both in Europe& the Pacific. Several versions. Try to find A-20 in Action for information. Hopes this helps. Jarhead

Propboy,
The Squadron?Signal in action book will answer all ?? and there are some decals from aeromaster and superscale for this ARCFT. Good luck HAppy Hunting. Todd

I built on A-20. It was one of my first, so it sucked!

So I got another one, and it is waiting to get built. Is yours the AMT kit?

Hi there

I love Phantom's "bone yard" diorama! - Stunning! :-)

AMTs A-20 is basically a good kit, but there are a couple of points to watch out for...

1. The control surfaces should be fabric-covered.
2. The prominent life-raft pack is missing from the space behind the pilot's headrest.
3. The kit main-wheels are moulded with a rather peculiar tread pattern.

I used to produce an after-market set to correct these faults, but I sold the last one years ago...

I've also read that the main landing gear legs need moving forward about 1/4 inch... but this isn't something I've ever checked out personally.

All the best

Rowan

I got the Amt one sitting on my shelf.
The A20 is perhaps my favourite plane, it , it, it is just so ........

yes same one..
