Thanks. Before I saw this I did some searching. Too easy! Seems like there a many to choose from? Just have to decide on the best 'bargain', assuming quality is paramount.

Thank you for this. Can I assume that the aircraft major parts were the same (no added, removed major parts - the kit I have will be correct parts wise?) and the only challenge will be is to either find or create the correct decal set? Will be an adventure for me to try and find a decal set of either. I really need to start expanding on my 'skills' and this may be the small step needed? The easy path is the Heinkel, but with the amount of time left in this GB I really need to do something challenging!
Seems that I can start cutting off spru parts and gluing things together, paint it black and then choose the marking set? I may yield to the 'Sky Grey' marking suggestion? I suppose the Red is date dependent and not necessarily wrong? In any case I can start the build and have time to get a proper set of decals ordered. If and when I start this be tuned in for 'more' discussions on the proper marking colors!
Interesting.Wurger - looking at this photo that you sent, if my eyes have not gotten that bad yet, it appears that the marking are red based on the 'shade' of the center of the fuselage roundel, which would have been red (red-blue-yellow)?

Ralph, why don't you try to write Airfix and ask them for an additional decal set?Been doing some shopping around, with the help from Don, I think I have settled on a set. Just have to find a decent deal. The ones I'm finding cost almost as much as I paid for the kit.

Direct from Model Maker in Poland is the best deal, but I think one needs to be a dealer? Have contacted my local HS to see if they can get? Thinking of doing HE-W or EW-K. Although EW-K comes with black ID numbers! So many choices!

Yes, I did go to web site. I believe they only accept wire transfers or Pay Pal, which I don't have. I'll keep trying. Thanks.If you want you may get in contact with them ...
You struck lucky George. Re PayPal, you should get yourself an account, makes shopping on line so much easier and you have security. Like George I have used it for a number of years and often not bother purchasing from a company unless they have PayPal, particularly when ordering from off shore.WELL CRAP! Being to lazy (I guess) to open the kit box and see the 'actual' instruction sheet, instead going to Scalemates to download the instruction sheet from there. It seems the instructions are for the kit I have but not -'A' level. Downloaded that, and used for reference, and these discussions, A05128. The kit is A05128A! And guess what....there really is/was a nightfighter version...I think?
Sorry for the waited time and bytes. It did bring out some interesting photos though.
