Thanks gents. As for the Night Fighter GB, I'm in. Hasegawa Ki.45 (Nick). Though the instructions don't say night fighter I found two photos of the first two options that say they are. In debations of which to do but am leaning to Option 1, NMF over black with red rudder and nose cap

Thanks Karl and Terry. Just ordered masks for the above kit from Dead Design Models who seem to specialize in Japanese aircraft subjects

My mistake George, I was actually referring to that type of mask made from Kabuki tape, they have been a great help to us modellers particularly when the finger are not so nimble.

Though I have a history of drastically over-committing to group builds elsewhere, I like the look of some of these. I mean, I can hardly sit out the Spitfire build, can I?

I was struggling with what I could do for GB65!! Not liking jets and all, and finding no gliders that were reasonable. Then I found this....


Who would volunteer for that job??

In GB 58 meow, it calls for night fighters all eras, must be in a specific NF role. The question I have is after WWII, at least in the USAF, the night fighter became the "All Weather Intercepter" and the units became F(AW) Squadron/Wings. This is for clarification only but is this going to be accepted for this build, ie F-82G, F-86D, F-89 or F-94? These were assigned to AW fighter wings and did duel duty as both day and night intercepts. Today's fighters all preform all weather day and night operations. Again clarifying the definition.
