Thanks, John! The A-20 is often overlooked these days, but it was a very important warplane nevertheless, especially in the 9th Air Force in England and the 5th Air Force in the Southwest Pacific. The Douglas A-26 Invader finally replaced it late in the war in most cases. The RAF, Free French Forces, and the Russians also used it a lot.

Love it, great attention to detail Douglas. I actually never heard of the A-20 Havoc but it looks similar to the B-26 or B-25 from this angle. I'm appreciating the detail on the paneling, shadows, rivets, prop spin, the nose art, and spinner reflections.. In general it has a vintage photo look to it but in clear detail vs. a blurry photograph from the time period. That fuselage is super sexy, time to say goodnight Hitler.
