    Zotz A-20G decals' preview

     Each scheme has been meticulously researched (seriously, we've poured over hundreds of photos), and we feel this sheet provides a nice variety of options that are all suitable for the variant of A-20G that HK boxed in our beloved scale. The decal sheet will cover the following eight aircraft:

     

    1. A-20G-25-DO serial number 43-9126 “Ravin Rachel”, 312th Bomb Group, 389th Bomb Squadron

     

    2. A-20G-25-DO serial number 43-21320 “The Nervous Virgin”, 312th Bomb Group, 387th Bomb Squadron

     

    3. A-20G-25-DO serial number 43-9105 “Sweet Lil’ Kitten”, 312th Bomb Group, 388th Bomb Squadron

     

    4. A-20G-40-DO serial number 43-21544 “Joker”, 312th Bomb Group, 387th Bomb Squadron

     

    5. A-20G-45-DO serial number 43-22166 “Baby Blitz II”, 312th Bomb Group, 388th Bomb Squadron

     

    6. A-20G-40-DO serial number 43-21385 “Jap Happy”, 312th Bomb Group, 388th Bomb Squadron

     

    7. A-20G-20-DO serial number 42-86726 “Jack’s Hack”, 3rd Attack Group, 90th Bomb Squadron

     

    8. A-20G-25-DO serial number 43-9422 “Bub’s Brother”, 3rd Attack Group, 8th Bomb Squadron

     

    The decal artwork is headed off to the printer, and the profiles for the decal sheet are in progress. Masks will be provided for the national insignia, and the shark mouth on Jack's Hack. Once a release date is nailed down, we'll be sure to announce it! In the mean time, enjoy the decal sheet artwork and the layout of the masks. Everything you see in grey in the artwork will be decaled in white:

    Hi Guys,

    I'm so humbled with the modellers community's response to my return to the decal mfc.

    Yes we are back. For how long? Only the Master up there and everywhere can determine that.

    I will take all the time that I'm allowed, to do what I like most, the research and the decal making. I have a new printerman. Hopefully he can make a good job as the last we had. I will see how the new 1/32 A-20G set is finally printed. We are still in the revision period and hopefully for the end of Aug it will be ready. If it comes out as I want them to be, there's a very special next release set that I have planned in 48th and 32nd that has never been done by anyone. I will not divulge what it is until the Havoc sheet is on the market. Rest assured that I will do my best on the subjects that I have chosen and that we don't want to rehash what has already been done. 

    Until then, happy modelling and thanks again for your messages, they mean a lot!

    Good catch on the mushroom cloud! 

    Could I have your last name so I can quote you when the decal sheet is done?

    Let me know if you find anything else.

    Good day and thanks again.

    Martin?

    That's just incredible detective work! Thanks so much.  A question if I may? 

    What color was used for the bomb bodies? Yellow? Also, beneath the Japanese flag and the scroll "15 Targets to Tokio" There's a map?
