Special Hobby 72337 A-20B/C Boston with UTK-1 Turret 1/72 – plastic model kit

Special Hobby 72337 A-20B/C Boston with UTK-1 Turret in 1/72 scale is a unique plastic model kit representing one of the more interesting versions of the American Douglas A-20 bomber, also known as the “Boston”. This bomber aircraft was widely used during World War II, primarily by the armed forces of the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union. The variant equipped with the UTK-1 turret gained popularity particularly within the Soviet Air Force, as it enhanced the machine’s defensive capabilities with stronger rear armament.

The model presented here depicts the A-20B/C version equipped with the rarely seen UTK-1 turret, which was mainly mounted on aircraft operated on the Eastern Front. Historically, these planes participated in numerous bombing and tactical support operations between 1941 and 1945, including during the Eastern Campaign and raids on Wehrmacht positions. Their distinguishing features were speed, durability, and excellent maneuverability compared to other light bombers of the World War II era.

• Scale: 1/72 – ideal for display alongside other aircraft from the World War II period.
• Material: high-quality plastic for precise detailing and easy assembly.
• Kit contents: plastic parts for assembly, detailed decals, painting options, and clear assembly instructions.
• UTK-1 turret as a dedicated feature for enthusiasts of unusual military hardware versions.
• Option to build a model of a Soviet-operated aircraft with distinctive armament – authenticity appreciated by both historians and advanced modelers.
• Category: plastic model kit.

The Special Hobby 72337 A-20B/C Boston with UTK-1 Turret set is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who value historical accuracy and unique weapon configurations. The assembly difficulty is estimated at 3/5 – it requires basic modeling skills and attention to detail, especially when working on the turret and armament sections. This model will be a great addition both to collections of World War II aviation enthusiasts and to historical modelers seeking rare variants of well-known machines.
