I guess that the radar went in the bomb-aimer's position, below the 4x0.50" cals. The conversion from the Airfix H, then, would be to omit the mid-upper turret and cover over the hole, plug up the hole for the 75mm and insert 4 x 50 cal barrels in the nose


That sounds very do-able even for me  

Now who wants to swap some Aeromaster Mitchell decals for some nightfighter decals  

Cheers

I'm beginning to feel a little inadequate with all these quick builds going on.

Mind you I'm clearing the work area ready for the 3rd Anniversary build which is a BIG job!

I've applied for membership, aiming to do a Hurricane IIC from the BBMF set in the colours of Jan Kuttelwascher's 'Night Reaper', possibly with others to follow if I get it done quickly.

Good going on the quick builds!

Dear forum members!
I've applied the group build with a pair of Swedish Mosquitos under the sign "A pair of Swedish postwar nightfighters from 1948..."

Of course it's postwar, but the Mosquito, anyway, took extensive action as a nightfighter, also in Sweden.

Best Merlin

Hi Merlin,

I'm afraid you may have slightly missed the point of the ATF Group Builds.....Please take some time to read the Group Build Rules:

http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/about4601.html

In the mean time I have merged your outstanding Mosquito builds into the Airfix 1/72 D.H. Mosquito NF.XIX/J.30 (03062) Gallery here:

http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=3752

They really are lovely models and I look forward to seeing more of your work.  

All the best
Sgt.S
