davenport49 Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Does anyone have a photo of the Douglas A-20 Havoc/Boston III life raft as stowed behind the pilot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenport49 Posted October 8, 2021 Author Report Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcorley Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
