GB 58 and beyond

Hello,

I think all is OK for me apart maybe

3	Zombie Build ======> usually, I finish all the kits I start (except when it ends up in the trash)
4	Carrier & Maritime Patrol a/c all Eras ======> I think my last "carrier aircraft" was the F5F-3 built at the end of the last year. I've F4U Corsairs and Zeros-Sen but land based...

But no problem for me

The list order Is perfect. For GB58 I just happened to have a fit...

Airfix Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I. And it's 1/48 to boot. I'm Also covered up to the no prop one, 65, which I have nothing. For the rest I'll be cleaning out the stash, using a bunch of 1/72 kits, not ready to buy new if I have a fit!

Does this count as a night fighter? Does this?
Not to be difficult but they are so small, I probably could get both done, and I have them.

To early to open a GB58 thread?? I would like to start a discussion on the 'color black'. Or perhaps open a thread in painting and finishing?

Retro Build- older kits only, optional to use old or new build techniques
Oddballs
Kits some one else bought you that you haven't built
Orphaned kits you lost interest in

Repaint it black and claim it's a zombie build entry! Nah, that would be cheating, I think?

I believe I do have Zombie candidates somewhere in my bone yard!

And the Only one I Don't have anything for, Night Fighter!
The only F6F-3N iza Trumpeter and it gets bazaar reviews.

I'm pretty sure Eduard did a F6F-3N at one time with resin radar pod and gun shrouds. I don't have one but remember seeing it.

Will need to go through my collection to find a night fighter, would this be WW2 only? I do have a F4U-5N but that would have to be in Korean War markings.
