OK, I made some errors in my voice over: The kit wasn't tooled in 2023, just this boxing came out in 2023. Additionally I miss identified the second set of markings as New Zealand, when in fact that are Australian.

The marking option that is not the USAAF is not the Royal New Zealand Air Force, but the Royal Australian Air Force, the RNZAF never operated the A-20, but the Australians did. The RNZAF Operated Lockheed Hudsons and Venturas, TBF Avengers and SBD Dauntless as attack airplanes

Thank you for the correction, I guess I didn't read the fine print!

It wasn't tooled in 2023, but in 2007, as MPM Production

What do you think of using enamels in an airbrush?

@HammerheadModelMaking 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, totally possible, just have to thin them properly but theres no reason you can't do it. The only thing you'd need to consider is ventilation. You don't want to be breathing enamel vapors/fumes, so you'd need a good extraction system or respirator.

Yeah I built that kit couple years ago, not a great experience from what I remember. Bad fit and a lot of sanding.

@HammerheadModelMaking 5 ай бұрын

Good to know!

Built that too. Gunship with a solid nose. Not a bad kit for a short run technology. Surface detail is decent, but overall fit is kinda meh sometimes. Decided to scratch build the bomb bay - no idea how accurate it is because there are almost no photos from inside. When did you put together the wings? Before or after painting?
