Nice, looks like a great kit too !

Very nice !

Great choice ! My 1:72 version the colour call outs are a bit lame. it looks like RLM 81/82 over the fuselage and RLM75/82 over the wings. Am I reading that right ?

Thanks everyone, another night fighter to my collection !

Nice one !

Beauty. I'm dealing with pain on 1:48 harnesses at the moment, I really can't imagine what its like with 1:72 Haha, believe me ! Getting harder and harder !

Slow go here. The engine is finished. I added plug leads on the side that will be open. You can't see them. The cockpit is pretty basic but adequate since it's barely visible once in stalled. The belts are masking tape. I cut the buckles and hardware off some PE belts and glued them on. Trying...

Pain in the you know what but worth it. It's looking great.

Looking good !

The attatchment points are quite large and the plastic is a bit on the brittle side. I broke a couple of pieces. All and all it fits...

Cool looking camouflage !

Here is a look at the kit. I built Dragons He162 and their Do335 about 25 years ago. They were great kits and had lots of detail and went together well. I had heard that Dragon had gone out of business so I was surprised to find this kit while looking for a decent F190D kit. Couldn't find one...

Great choice Graham - I was thinking of entering the same kit! BTW, read there are fit issues with the cowls etc, in true Dragon style. I will have cowls open when I do mine to try and avoid that (and of course show off that engine!) Yes, too nice of an engine to hide !
