BradG Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) This idea has been floating around for a while, there has been several new releases in recent times for night fighters (Revell 262 and Fw 190, Heinkel 219 etc) and the AIMS Bf 110G-4 conversion, I think there's enough kits to run this, but it is a little more confined than the usual GB topic. Excluding conversion sets, I've put together a list of easy night fighter kits to find. I'd also be willing to expand a little more to include strike aircraft that specifically operated at night, such as the F-117, Heinkel 111's and Mosquito's with black under surfaces and NJG Ju 87D's, if someone want's to build one of those.

Hasegawa Bf 109G-6 wild boar Hasegawa Bf 109G-10 NJG 11 Hasegawa Fw 190A-4 nacht jabo-rei I'd like at least 12 participants, so can I ask that if you respond in the affirmative, that you be 100% sure you will participate and mention what kit you will build. I'll leave this up for a couple of weeks and if this doesn't get enough interest, then I have a few other ideas in the bank.

BradG Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Ah, start date, tentatively, June 1st at this stage. mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 There are also the Hasegawa F6F-5E and F6F-5N kits. Like some of the other Hasegawa kits on the list, they are specific boxings that may be somewhat hard to find if you don't already have it.

mozart Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) Yes, oh yes! I'd be in for either a Bf110G-4 (the AIMS conversion of course) and/or the Tamiya Mosquito finished as a Mk II NF. Can we have something like a 6 month build window please Brad? Edited April 29, 2018 by mozart BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Roger Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Would the Tamiya F4U-1 with AMS F4U-2N conversion qualify? Vandy 1 VX 4 and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I'm interested, I have just begun cutting plastic and resin on the Aims Bf 110g conversion...only the pilot seat glued, is it still eligible to join in? BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikester Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) I've been thinking about doing a Ju 88C-2 or the old Revell 110G-4 or maybe even a 109G-6 from JG 300. I'm not real good at building on timelines so at this point I'm a definite maybe. Edited April 29, 2018 by Mikester BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Great idea. I am definitely in. I would join with the Black Widow. Cheers, David BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
