This is the thread for updates and comments on this refit and upgrade, of a build which was pretty innovative to begin with: my RAAF 22 Squadron A-20 Boston-II, circa the Battle of the Bismarck Sea - the decisive, or certainly one of the final, naval battles sealing the fate of the Guadalcanal campaign, of 1942-3.

Anyway, the great experiment with this build was fabricating a replacement nose greenhouse: originally in "clear" resin - which subsequently proved not so clear - and now, in a refit, out of heat-formed clear packaging plastic (some kind of PET, polycarbonate, etc..).

Plus, with the passage of time has come the discovery of a major cache of historical reference pics - both of the build subject explicitly, as well as 22 Squadron RAAF during the Pacific War, more generally.

I hope you find something(s) here of help, and/or interest, in your own modelling!

Cheers,
