The American A-20 Havoc / Boston twin-engine bombers were
deployed on many battlefields of World War II. They were very successful
in the Pacific. The A-20G version was equipped with large-caliber
machine guns in the nose, the rear hemisphere was guarded with a gun
turret with a pair of machine guns of the same caliber. This armament
was used in ground attacks, along with bombs dropped from low altitude.
In addition to the American ones, RAAF Bostons were also deployed in the
Pacific. Australian Bostons organized popular bomb ‘tea parties’. In
Europe, the A-20G operated from bases in Italy and Great Britain as
tactical bombers in large formations. They were mostly led by A-20Ks
with a glass nose and Norden sights. After the invasion of Europe, the
A-20G also operated from French bases. This also applies to one of the
machines offered in our kits. The machine with invasion stripes was
decorated with a drawing of a beauty inspired by famous Vargas. Three
more aircraft operated in the Pacific. Two American ones were decorated
with nose art, one with a fierce beast mouth on the nose. The last
aircraft flew with No.22 Sqn. RAAF.
The kit offers detailed A-20G parts, broken down into five sprues of grey plastic and a sprue of clear parts.
