I don't have white one but I have close to it so I share. It should be easy to clean up.

Bonus-Finnair ATR included.Bkensky did that recolor a long time ago.Also mostly white.

Here is another test build of a A-20 repaint by Brent.This time it's in markings of a Free French bomber squadron.

Due to one of my mistakes I printed original 1:100 model,not the two page enlarged one like previous Russian model. Pictures of both side by side are provided to show difference in size. One vs two pages -it might not sound like much but larger one is a whole lot easier to build (at least for me).

Huge thanks to Brent for letting me build them. It's been a pleasure and hopefully some day we will get a Turbinlite version aka "flying flashlight".

This is a supplement to above.It might come handy to some builders of Bruno models.

Here are pictures of one of my methods of building spar for small models in 1:100 and 1:72 scale.I roll a paper tube on a dowel to about a diameter of a thickness of wings at root (by the fuselage).
I cut small V in the middle-this allows me to bend tube into desired angle of dihedral of a wing.Some planes like A-20 have very pronounced angle while others like SB-2 have near flat wing. Look up drawings to get right angle.
Angle of dihedral is held on tube by glued strip of scrap paper on top. Make that strip round on a dowel so it hugs spar nicely.
Drill or punch holes in fuselage where spar goes. Look from the front of nose at spar and make it equal on both sides.Glue it in place.
Flatten the ends of tube spar gradually from end to root to mimic thickness of a wing.
Wings can be glued on.

I added a couple of pictures of engine gondolas since there are two ways of building them. One on pictures is a better one imho. Other one can be seen on pictures of Russian A-20.
