I think it will be a Mosquito for me too. I have one in a VE Day set that'll do the trick.

Is anyone planing on tackling an Axis nightfighter and what would the options be?

Thanks for the info Ratch and AFCBGearge.

I'm off to the LMS today to see what they have.

Yes, thanks guys for the information. I have a 109, but I have no clue about how to make or buy the custom decals to make it a nightfighter. If I can't figure something out at least I have the mossie ready to go.

PM me a reminder when you start the build and I will sort it for you.

I'm tempted to do a Fw189 as I have one in the stash but I'm not sure about the colour schemes or where I'd get the markings from.

There is one other ... The Me 262B-1a/U1 (or Me 262B-2a)

Didn't Airfix release the Ta 154 (or am I getting ahead of myself)?

Those Owl decals are available from Hannants. But I'd like mine before the group build finishes so I'm hesitating at placing the order for the 1/72 scale BF109 set.

I may be tempted to put a solid nose on Ju88. I've got plenty of balsa kicking about. Think

just joined this GB, I‘m going to do the Dornier Do217 J-1 NjG1...might try and find a tin of matt black spray paint for this rather than my usual paintbrush job

BTW, I don't know what I'll do exactly - maybe a BP Defiant, Sopwith Camel, Avro 504, Spitfire, Hurricane, Beaufighter, Mosquito (either NFII, NFXIX or FBVI), Havoc, P-61 (big possibility) ... maybe something German, but probably not. I might stick my neck out now and say I'll do a Black Widow.

Hmmm, worth considering....

I have two of these kits. It looks like the non-extended wingtips are the go, which makes it easier. The flame dampers would be easy enough to make out of a plastic drinking straw or similar.
