davenport49 Posted October 5, 2021 Report Posted October 5, 2021 Does anyone have a photo of the Douglas A-20 Havoc/Boston III life raft as stowed behind the pilot?
ghodges Posted October 5, 2021 Report Posted October 5, 2021 Here's some ideas.... Basically a folded/buttoned up tarp-looking "raft" with some strapping will do the job..... Couldn't find a real 1-1 image...probably need the E&M manual for that! GIL

davenport49 Posted October 8, 2021 Author Report Posted October 8, 2021 Thanks to both; I just found these photos a few minutes ago. Both of the models show yellow rafts; is it safe to assume that's realistic?
jcorley Posted October 8, 2021 Report Posted October 8, 2021 I used Testors RAF Trainer Yellow, which was a close match to the raft here at the NMNA in Pensacola. Maybe a touch more orange? (I cannot vouch for another brand, but it should be similarly close)
