Looking forward to getting that A-20 Havoc.

May actually have to get an HM Huey this time. Be surprised how hard it is to find some of the better liveries now.

Also like the PB4Y in 1:144 since I've been buying four engine bombers in that scale lately.

I still prefer my altaya over HM, nice Huey though...
A helicopter does not want to fly, it just vibrates so much that the ground rejects it

The news of the A-20 will make a lot of collectors happy 8)

Time to look around what A-20 schemes catches my fancy, with D-day stripes a must for me, don't see myself getting more then 2 into my collection...

but famous last words as I said the same thing for F-4s, only need 2 and now I've got 13 and doesn't seem to be done yet!

A-20 is a must :D

My uncle's father was a radio operator in A-20s in the Mediterranean Theater during WWII.

The A-20 Havoc has been much anticipated, and glad to see that HM has finally pumped one out. 8) Think quite a few collectors would regard this as a belated Christmas present. Good to see that they have gone for a good scheme right at the start. The HM A-26 Invader suffered from a poor choice of schemes from the outset,, and while I understand the strategy of not releasing the best one first, I do think it affected sales, which are still sluggish.

The A-20 Havoc should be a good seller as it was flown bu the US, Britain, and the Commonwealth countries, among others, so think the Yanks, Brits, Canucks, Aussies and Kiwi;s can each get their own. Something that HM does very well.

Think the Gabreski Spitfire is another good choice.

I still won't say the HM S1 A-26 Invader was an overall bad choice. Certainly better silver WWII schemes they could have done, but it wasn't terrible. I've been very happy with mine... The A-20, though, is something to cheer about :D
