This serves all the A-20 kits but especially the A-20B with the flight controls
and the A-20G-1 with the upper rear gunner but no flight controls:

Wreaking Havoc 1: A-20B 41-3266(?) Outhouse Mouse with a Sharkmouth
- Thread starter Sharkmouth
- Start date
This post is repeated on the A-20G-1-DO thread. Photos to follow but some work was done on the engine cowlings for both the A-20B and A-20-G-1-DO as they are the same. This meant adding five (5) exhaust ejector pipes on the outer upper fixed flap (see A-20G-1-DO tech manual image below whose engine cowl cover would the be same), four (4) exhaust ejector pipes on the inner fixed flap, and five more, tom complete fourteen (14), underneath the stamp shaped movable flaps on the lower side:
Still better than Paul Budzik who has to smooth out the cowl flaps as the A-20A he's building had a collector ring with a single eject on the outboard side of each nacelle. The open cooling vents were a temporary measure which was deleted later during production:

Sheesh, need to remove the horizontal frame from the common windscreen in all the kits... It shouldn't be there for any Havoc produced prior to the DB-7B/A-20C:
Time to point out detail bits for any modeler working on the Havoc.
This is the wingtip from the start of the A-20G-1-DO to about the A-20G-30-DO (I may correct this range later). Note that the teardrop shaped bulb is the navigation light while the bulb in the clear aft half of the wingtip is a formation light. It should not be green/red.
Compare to full clear wingtip incorporating both starting with the A-20G-30-DO (this one is serial 43-9716 from the 647th Bomb Squadron, 413th Bombardment Group, 9th AF, after a hard landing in England on the 28th of May,1944):
Clear sections of the wingtip are not on this A-20B. I will simply fill in the outline for the clear section:
