Could I get reviews for some LadNDad models?

In particular, the A-20 and the CA-12 Boomerang.

I don't have much success with his stuff. His typhoon and Sunderland were disasters (unless I did something wrong on the Sunderland). I purchased the A-20 along with the Sunderland, and after the Sunderland failing outright, I am reluctant to try the A-20.

His FB-5 Gunbus and Eurocopter Tiger were nice, and the photos of the Boomerang show a nice model.

So do the A-20 and Boomerang go together well? If so, do they look nice?

Sometime ago I built Lad N Dad's DC-3 in 1/48 scale. That's the only one I've built from this designer.

It was an easy build. Simple design. Built in in just a couple of days. Relaxed assembly.

The overall shape was pretty accurate. But the engines were definitely oversized.

Not precisely a polished kit. There were some issues specially in the landing gear.
The textures could have been better.

I don't think they're precisely for exhibition. But it was a great practice, and the model looks nice if not compared to others.

I did their DH.88 Comet a while ago for a lark.
The overall fit was reasonably good and the actual shape isn't entirely correct if you lay it upon a scaled drawing of the plane. But for just a nice little model it's close enough. In general, the result has a pleasing look and it certainly is worth the build and its price. As Ruben already said, not a showstopper for exhibition purposes but fun to build.

I have done the Douglas Boston Mk III which is close to the A20 http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/507345-post1.html
and the Avro Anson http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/565631-post6.html and my opinion is that they are very challenging tasks.

If you have the patience to read through those threads, it may give you an idea of what you are facing.

Good luck.

SOme trivia for you,

A-20 Havoc and RAF Boston are the same aircraft, just in the use of different nations. Thanks for the link! I'll be sure to try that Boston mk III now!
