vince14 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It looked pretty good to my eyes - and actually quite small for a 1/32 twin, thanks to the narrow fuselage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Having had a good look over the test shots today, I’m confident in saying this is HK’s best kit to date. The surface detail is exceptional and beautifully in scale, the engines look gorgeous and the interior detail very good indeed. I don’t know much about the A-20 family but the shapes look accurate and it’s every inch a Havoc. And the real bonus is in 1/32 scale it looks similar in dimensions to a 1/48 B-17 or Lanc so very manageable - chances are I can even smuggle this past the wife without her giving it a second glance.

npb748r Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 that's one for me as well - I know nothing about the A-20 so this will be a great opportunity to learn as well as build. HB252 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Eagle Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Man, SeaFury, Mc-202, Hornet, and now this. I swear I haven’t passed on. It seems so many dreams are coming true. Now, if we could also get a good P-51B Scotsman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroen_R90S Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It's not my cup of tea, but seen as a model kit that looks great -and happy for you A-20 fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's December or January won't be long to wait. Looks as though I'll be shuffling the batting order [build order] when this thing comes out I'm sold and it does have the right number of cylinders . Way cool HK !

esarmstrong Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I see a clear nose piece, so we are in for additional versions, I would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually just a skosh bigger than a Mosquito. I've already measured existing shelf space , it'll fit wjth some room to spare for the Sea Fury that's coming out I thought this hobby was dying out YEAH RIGHT!
