My father is redoing a second 1/144th A-20 we have. We added a 1/144 A-20 "GREEN HORNET" made by IXO to our collection a little while ago. Not a bad representation.

We acquired another one recently at a decent price so we decided to change it over and add to our JOLLY ROGERS Squadron. The 90th Bomb Group "JOLLY ROGERS' had an A-20 that was stripped down to bare metal and had the nose art LITTLE CHIEF.

Image

The A-20 was lightly sanded down to remove all markings, some gaps and holes were filled with super glue and then sanded down. The gear doors were thinned down to a more correct thickness.Then a white primer was shot.

After the primer it was given several light coats of Model Master Aluminum Plate. Then engine detailing was added along with some Zinc Chromemate in the cockpit and wheel wells.

Heres a couple shots with the gear, tail markings and nose art on. Waiting for some stars and have to add the props and then were done.

The Green Hornet A-20 is how it comes in the package. Pre-finished. The Little Chief is the one my dad is obviously redoing and repainting. The actual markings are scaled down 1/48 Microscale decals, printed on the home computer on printable decal paper.

Got him the props and decals. Waiting for an update.
