Marklo Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) On going through my stash I realised that my Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter is the Comic version, a single seater night fighter conversion. Now I’d also like to finish one of my Camel Kits as the other Sopwith Comic. And so the proposal is for any night fighter custom designed or converted in any scale. Some examples from the collection… 1/72 Revell Ta154 1/72 Airfix BE2c 1/72 Airfix FW190 1.

JOCKNEY Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Hi @Marklo Having just finished my Ju88 Nightfighter it would be just plain rude not to join this one.

Andwil Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Ok, I have to chose from P-61, P-70, F-6F-5N, F-4U-1N, He-219, Defiant, F-3D Skynight, Ju-88G-6, Blenheim IVF, Me-262. So I’d be in. AW Edited April 5, 2023 by Andwil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Actually I could do anything without an external antenna like the Do 215 I did last year. The radarless Ju 88 C-4 after that was very therapeutical! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky boy Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Nice idea Mark. Please add me to the list. I haven’t built a night fighter for ages. James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I have one or two in the stash that would qualify for this including Beaufighters, Mosquitos a Defiant, Ju-88's and a P-61 so you can add my name to the list Mark. 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Yes please Mark, with a Mosquito (or two) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Well I cant hold out anymore. Count me in with a Revell P-61 in 1/48 in “Jap Batty” markings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Hmmnnnn. I’ve been collecting a few to do while housebuilding and not seeing any plastic building. Have a soft spot for nightfighters. Choices Beaufighter Mosquito Black Widow Ju88 Me109 Me110 Me262 He219 How long is the GB again And a thought. Would a type like the Hurricane be eligible as long as the aircraft concerned was being used as a dedicated nightfighter. My Me109 has a conversion set for a nightfighter variant but are we sticking to marks of aircraft specifically designed for nightfighting. I appreciate the distinction might have blurred lines as lots of WW2 nightfighters started off as heavy day fighters or light twin bombers eg Blenheims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of night fighters were just regular aircraft painted black it was only towards the end of WW2 that dedicated night fighters like the Uhu or the Blackwidow started to enter service. It’d nearly be an STGB if we restricted it to those 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lloyd Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 As the old man flew in Lancasters, I've always had a fascination with the machines that were used to try to kill him. My night fighter tally includes the Do-335, Ju-88, almost the Bf-110-G, Me-262, Bf-109G Wilde Sau, as well as a Mosquito and Hurricane. The stash offers about 20 options. And even though this GB has been run before, please add me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 You might as well add me to the list, as I have a thing about night fighters, although as usual I reserve the right to be hopelessly busy when the time comes. I’d like to do another 262, but a two-seater with whiskers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Count me in, I've got a fair few possibles in the stash, including a Revell 1/48 Ar-234B-2/N with a lot of resin goodies James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
