Italeri 2656 1/48 A-20B / Boston III

The twin-engine Douglas A-20 was developed by the American aviation company to fulfil two main tasks. Its fuselage, with the characteristic mid-height cantilever wing, could be configured as a night fighter and attack aircraft with a powerful weapon system in the forward fuselage, or as a light bomber. The light bomber version achieved significant success not only with the U.S.A.F., but also with the British RAF, which named the Douglas aircraft ‘Boston’. The nose of the Boston was glazed to accommodate the bombardier, but retained the then innovative nose wheel landing gear. It could carry up to 1,800kg of offensive payload and was produced in large numbers and used by the RAF, numerous Commonwealth air forces and some units of the Soviet Air Force.
