Stéphane Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hello, Here is the completed Mosquito NF Mk.II (Tamiya, 1/48), it was first buit as a FBVI of the Normandie-Niemen squadron. Transforming it to night fighter required addition of exhausts shrouds, narrow prop blades, building all the AI Mk.IV radar aerials, and addition of the double position lights at wing tips. From it's long life, it has been losing one nose gun and one of the wing landing lights. Many thanks to Dave Swindell for his help with the radar aerials. Hope you'll like her and as usual, comments and critics most welcome Best Stef (#6) 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith in the uk Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Wow what a transformation , i thought it looked pretty good in its former scheme but the all Black night fighter finish really sets it off. Top job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

112 Squadron Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 This is an excellent night fighter. Refurbishing an old model takes even more time and effort than building a new one from scratch. But given that splendid result your work really paid off. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stéphane Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Thanks a lot for the kind words, guys, glad you like her ! First build was in 1999 or 2000 and my skills, especially painting, at the period were less than they are now. I used an Aztek airbrush, Aeromaster acryl paints and so on, not thinning much, etc, so it was time for a refurbishing 😃. Next in the line is a danish F-104, quite different.
