The decals came in 1/72 and 1/48 scale. Al Mason made some excellent decals.

1/48 A-20 gear placement correction.
Looks like there is a problem with the gear placement on old AMT A-20. Here is the fix if you are interested.
What I have in my files:
"Those of you that wish to have your A-20G sitting on the ground may wish to correct its "sit" by drilling new main landing gear locator holes 1/4" (6.3mm) forward of the existing locator holes in the lower wings (24, 26). If the main landing gear is installed "by the book," it will sit too far back. Naturally, I caught this boo-boo after the fact, but that's what I'm here for - so you don't! It is such an easy fix that you really should take a minute to drill the new holes."
On pg 7 of the erection and maintenance manual:
http://www.avialogs.com/index.php/en/ai ... guide.html
it says the axle of the main wheel is 4' 6" aft of the leading edge.

B-47 bomber video
B-47 to me was a very sleek bomber. Its service life was short. The Bomber did what it was asked to do. Wonder where I but that kit.

Aviation Usk 1/72 B-32 Dominator
The B32 was the answer to the B-29 is it failed to work. It is an impressive boomer that did fly in combat. Years ago a won one on ebay for a song. It is on my to do list. But on modelling madness Ryan Groweilier built the model. His article on construction is the perfect guide. The article can be found here B-32 build
