This should be a dead giveaway. My wood is not thick enough for the engine nacelles requiring some lamination.

 Re-think........

Wing shape does not match Bonanza. Soooooo... I'll go with Douglas Boston

  • The leading edge of the main wing is straight.
  • The engine nacelle is large.
  • Fillet on the front of the vertical stabilizer.
For these reasons, it is "Douglas A-20 Havoc".

I had a misunderstanding. I'm sorry.
I am looking forward to the completion.

Gordon has it as the Douglas Boston Mk III. It will be an all black night fighter as used by RCAF 418 Sqn. Profile from Wings Palette.

 Looking forward progress shots.

"Eventually" I will do a Boston done as A28 -21 "X" of 22 Squadron RAAF . " The Leprechaun " Lost on operations Feb '43.

I worked with a relative of the gunner .

A nice looking aeroplane.

Block form.

Carved and rough sanded. The rear of nacelles will require quite a bit of putty. Should that not work out, I will pop them off and re-carved them.

The shape of "Boston" is nice. Even so, the engine nacelles are big!
