1/48 Italeri A-20B

The AMT kit (and the previous Italeri A-20 kit) are A-20Gs with the solid nose and the dorsal turret.

The new Italeri kit is the earlier "B" model with the glass nose and the open dorsal gunner position. Undoubtably it shares the bulk of its parts with the earlier Italeri A-20G kit.

SFAIK, this is the first time the early model of the A-20 has been kitted in an injection-molded kit. I've dim memories of a vacuform

Cheers,

I just noticed that these are being offered. That's the first time in this scale, isn't it?

The A-20G was the first version released by AMT, followed by an A-20B/C, an A-20J, and a P-70.

Wrong, AMT did the A-20G, A-20B/C, A-20J and P-70. I have both a G and B/C downstairs.

Hey! I resemble that remark... ;-p

Shows how much I know about 1/48th. ;]

Yep ,I got all four of them.I believe the Italeri kits are from the old AMT molds ,hopefully they have fixed the awful fishscale pattern on the tyres.
