It's difficult to tell with all that masking..has she been restored with a dorsal turret?

Looking good! The Havoc has always beeen one of my favorites..maybe I'll actually get to see one fly! :drink3:

Last time I saw an A-20 fly was the late, great CAF example in the mid-1980s at the Denton Air Show. Really looking forward to this one being up, out, and about!

I know what you're saying, but that horse is out of the barn - airport tarmac is fair game. They know that too, it gets the minions warmed up.



Hmmm...

I see'd it! I see'd it!

The engines, canopy, landing gear,ect were all masked off, bottom surfaces had already been painted BSG and then also masked off, and the whole rest of the plane had just been painted ODG.
And it has a gun nose. That's all that you could see.
:drinkers:

Black skull and crossbones on the nose and other final markings going on yesterday. Nothing photoworthy however.
