This looks interesting.
Nice to see something that normally you wouldn't immediately associate with nightfighting.

Main assembly complete on the Hellcat and coat of primer on
Only mods to the basic kit are the radar pod, and the rear cockpit windows covered with small pieces of plasticard to represent the MkII.

Paint on now. Took a long time to get what I thought was a nice solid layer onto the 'cat, but as you can see the photography has shown that I'm not quite there yet. Oh well...
Decalling underway too.
