Why this kit matters

The Douglas A-20 Havoc became one of the most versatile attack aircraft used during World War II. Operated by the United States Army Air Forces, the Soviet Union, the Royal Air Force, and other Allied nations, the aircraft handled low-level bombing, ground attack, night fighting, and reconnaissance duties. The A-20G variant introduced a solid nose packed with forward-firing machine guns for aggressive strafing attacks against ground targets.

The Havoc saw combat across Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific. Crews valued the aircraft for its speed, durability, and handling. In the Pacific theatre, A-20Gs attacked shipping, airfields, and supply lines, while European operations focused on tactical bombing and close support missions. Its broad wartime service helped secure the aircraft’s place as one of the most effective Allied light bombers of the war.

How to use it

Build using plastic model glue, hobby paints, sprue cutters, sanding tools, and fine brushes for cockpit and camouflage work. Assemble the fuselage, wings, and engine components carefully before applying decals and weathering effects. Display the completed aircraft on a shelf, in a collection cabinet, or as part of a WWII airfield diorama.

This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
