Yepper sir, AMT made the A-20 in three variants; A-20B/C, A-20G & A-20J. Four variants if you wanna count the P-70 nightfighter.

They're all out of production, and kinda hard to find sometimes. Just did a search on evilBay and found nada. Maybe try Hyperscale, make a post on the "Plane Trading" page.

Yeah, the AMT kits are pretty decent. True Details made some resin add-ons as well. Both turn up from time to time on eBay. Keep your eyes peeled.

Yeah, ya gotta be careful and not put to much into ebay. There are people out there that it takes 2 minutes to place a bid and wait
till the last possible moment to out bid ya. I've had this happen to me several times and alls I could do is shout four lettered words at my monitor. Otherwise my experience has been good and never ripped off.

Just found this on ebay (7/27)

Actually, I can't in good faith. It would really depend on how much your wallet can bear and how much your willing to spend. When I do it, I first figure on how much the kit is worth and put that in as max bid - I have gotten suckered into bidding wars and paid way too much for 3 different kits (2 b58's and a v22), then I will increase the amount in 10 dollar increments until I get fed up or feel it isn't worth it.

Then again, I've gotten rare kits dirt cheap (rube goldberg anyone?)
