Mike Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Kia Ora good people Well, the paint is barely dry off the last project and I'm thinking of the next one, namely the Italeri A-20G. I'm thinking of doing it in the kit markings of "La France Libre" with the invasion stripes. What I'm having trouble coming to terms with is the lack of Medium Green splotches noted on the painting instructions - my understanding is that the Medium Green was a pretty much standard affair for that period and type of aircraft - allowing, of course, that there are ALWAYS exceptions. So, I guess the upshot of my question is, should this aircraft have Med Green over the OD camo? I can't find any pics of this aircraft - A-20 photos seem to be rather thin on the ground. Any and all ideas/help gratefully received! Cheers Mike A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
