Russian winter wins again. Think it affected a few of the other planes there - Su-25 rocking back, Il-62

Not much to be said about the quality of this restoration apparently...

Looks like the "engine" is about to fall out as well!

Just doesn't look right to me. Something look a little off about this A-20? Looks like a replica to me. Maybe some original parts.

At the very least, the props don't look original.

Yeahh, it looks like a glazed nose DB-7 modified to a gun-nose model.

Edit:I should have said, "DB-7 modified to represent an A-20G"

It's good to see one with a rear turret, however real it may be.

At my age, the eyes are the SECOND thing to go, BUT...The engine in the picture above looks off center.
