Re: Douglas A 20 Havoc 43 - 9436
sorry I have not been able to find any photos of this plane.
however, I have some photos of some of the other planes in the unit.
I can post scans if you like.
research indicates she is an A-20G-25-DO that means she was most likely painted in the factory using Olive Drab ANA 613 , Medium Green ANA 612 in blotches on the leading and trailing edges of the wings and tail and ANA 603 Neutral/Sea Grey for the bottom (this grey has a little blue in it)
the tail has a green tip with a white border beneath. the exact color is unknown to me but has been suggested as Medium Green FS 34102, but this did not exist untill 1956. (I suspect ANA 503 Willow Green)
it has also been suggested that each squadron in the group had different colors on the tip of the tail.
a little bit off-topic is that Italeri has re-issued Amt/ertl kit of the A-20G and includes decals for "Big Nig"
I can post a scan of that if you like.(and it even has the Grim Reapers emblem)
