Aero-space / Re: Douglas A-20 What-If WIP
« Last post by Jeffry Fontaine on Today at 11:48:13 AM »Nothing significant done this evening beyond working on a inflatable life raft for the space behind the pilot that is dedicated to that item. None of the A-20 or P-70 kits have the life raft included so you either make your own or purchase the aftermarket product that includes the life raft. I have no idea what that life raft looks like when stowed but it was easy enough to modify another plastic part to represent the stowed life raft. I also purchased the Squadron True Details resin wheel set for the A-20 Havoc which includes a "life raft" shape piece of resin. Hard to decide if that is what a folded or rolled up life raft actually looks like but what do I know?
In the attached images I am sharing the pale yellow rectangular shape is the Squadron True Details resin life raft shape and the tan color object that looks like a loaf of bread in bondage is my attempt at creating a life raft shape for the A-20 (TB2D). I rather like my interpretation of what a life raft looks like when rolled/folded up for stowage. I modified by very aggressive sanding a tarpaulin of some kid from Italeri. It may have come from the 1/35th scale Opel Blitz truck kit but it was definitely from Italeri.
