Nice rescue of this vintage A-20 kit! I liked your other builds too, especially the A-26B Invader. FYI, my paternal grandfather built A-26Cs (the one with the glazed "bombardier's" nose) at Douglas Aircraft in Tulsa, OK during the war.
Another great restauration.. :) :) I think I have the Matchbox Boston kit somewhere, yet to be built. Bought it cheap at a model show, because all the bits were loose in a bag.. :)
Thanks. When dealing with Matchbox kits it's good idea to have alternative decals at hand, because these decals are possibly the ones that stand the passing of the years the worst among all vintage brands.
Who doesn't, with those plastics in different colors, so unusual that they make them look like toys? :3 Just like vintage Airfix kits in those retractable undercarriages.
Όταν το έφτιαξα το 1975 ειμουν ακόμα όνειροπολος με τρελλα στα συναρμολογουμενα χωρίς να ξέρω τι θα επακόλουθησει στο μέλλον τώρα από τα βάσανα έχει χαθεί κάθε μαγεια
This was/is one of my favourite kits from my childhood, great decals!

Thanks, and- Wow! That is something to envy for sure that you had such an important grandfather.

Very nice restoration, but why not stripping off the old paint bevor repainting?
Because, as I say in the video, the old paint refused to go despite all the cleaning products that I used (from alcohol to turpentine).
