spacewolf Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm seriously thinking of Wihelm Frankl's D-III for this if I can find any info on his aircraft. I've done a couple of preliminary google searches with no luck. From what I have found he had one night victory April 6, 1917. An FE 2b shot down at 2:30 a.m... still researching this. If anyone has info it would be a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Sweet! I will do so! :-) That looks great! Very inspiring. It is, it was my first scratchbuild: Drop me a PM with your address and I'll send you a vac-formed engine cowl. Then you'll have no excuse not to finish!

Hans Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have a book with a photo of Frankls' D III. When you give me your e/mailadress I'll send you a copy. spacewolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I was going to say 'YAY! I'm in' but then realized that a 1/48 Catalina Black Cat doesn't qualify despite its size. Blast... Would love to do a Black Widow P-61 tho... BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerhard Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 With the best will in the world, a Mossie bomber, even in night paint, is not a night fighter! A night-fighting Hurricane though would be fantastic! Where to find a Paragon Designs fighter conversion kit for the Mossie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Not long now before this one starts, I have all of my AM ordered and ready for two builds, what are we all planning for this one, I have a WnW and a Ju 88 conversion ready to go!

mozart Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Mosquito of 515 squadron operating in the bomber support role. It'll be either a straightforward Mk VI with nose cannon or, if I can get the details a thimble-nose ASH Mk VI, the nose I think I'll have to scratch build because I haven't found any conversions in 1/32.

Phantom2 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Well, I didn´t have to buy a new Black Widow! I accidentally(!) found a Trumpeter F6F-5(N) Hellcat Nightfighter when rummaging trough my stash the other night! Didn´t remember I had it, can´t even for my life remember when or where I bought it! Must be getting old..... But I´m good to go for the Nightfighter GB! Cheers! Edited May 17, 2018 by Phantom2 BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) There's only one nightfighter I want.That's the B-P Defiant. Still no kit.(not counting the resin one).Hoping for Airfix to come with a 1/24 th one. But a 32 nd will do too.

Gerhard Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Yes What's your base model Gerhard, Revell's Mk IV bomber? Yes. I think I am going to scratch this idea though, and do a Mk Vb Spit in Nighfighter guise, 1/24. I just need to find a source for RAF lettering in 1/24 scale. That seems even more difficult than a nose cone replacement for the Mossie. Edited May 20, 2018 by Gerhard mozart and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Good idea to ditch the Mossie I think Gerhard. You might find the following helpful: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234987897-spitfire-nightfighters-decals-and-other-questions/ If you're stuck for codes I could cut some masks for you.

Gerhard Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Thank mozart. I built it in 1/48 scale already, just fancy a 1/24 one as well. I can get the Airfix 1/24 Mk Vb for about $60 all in. Really appreciate your offer, will shout out if I dont come right. Zane from Mavdecals said he would be able to help me out if I can send him the size of the letters. Can only do that when I have the kit in my lap. That's about a week away. They like Hens teeth over here for some reason. Only one HS has it in stock.
