Arado Ar 234B-2/N in 1/48....

What's the difference, I assume that they both use the same radar, the Naxos....right?

The same kit (aircraft), just difference boxings....

I have read that the bottom part of the front Plexiglas was painted over due to light reflection issues.

I would say the kits are the same just the different decals.
Both kits base on the Hasegawa No. 09083 ( JT83 ) kit Arado Ar234B-2 'Blitz Bomber' released in 2002.


The first Nachtigall ( Hasegawa No. 09085 - Arado Ar234B-2/N 'Nachtigall' ) was released in 2002 as well but contained new parts for the correct version.


The Hasegawa No.09820 kit ( Arado Ar234B-2/N Nachtigall w/Naxos Radar ) was released in 2008 and is the reissue of the JT85 (no. 09085) kit.

IIRC This was the book I read that in. There is an account from the pilot regarding its final (crash) landing and other details. No pictures unfortunately.
