A-20 Havoc model aircraft, wingspan 19 1/4 in. x length 15 1/4 in. . Hand carved from solid mahogany and completely hand painted. Your model comes complete with a solid mahogany and chrome stand as shown. The A-20 Havoc was originally built for the French and British as a night fighter before America entered the war. In addition, the USSR received over 3,000 of these aircraft through Lend-Lease. Havocs were used in Europe and the Pacific for light bomber missions. Havocs were very effective in low altitude attack roles. The "G" model had the solid nose, and the "A" had the glass nose. Our master craftsmen,working from three-dimensional drawings, chip away the excess wood from the kiln-dried block until an airplane amazingly appears. They work their tools with remarkable precision and unusual attention to detail. Several stages of fine sanding, between primer coats, produce a silky smooth finish ready for final painting. Talented artists using ultra-fine brushes, paint the nose art, stripes and markings. We select the aircraft and paint schemes for their historical significance and authenticity. A final coat of clear lacquer provides lasting protection to the exquisite finish. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. Every order gets our personal attention! (311) AA20SN
