Thanks, I just need serials/squadron codes for Mk 2C night fighter, and maybe a pic showing the roundels etc...

Well, the most famous unit using NF Mk.IIc was probably the No. 1 Squadron RAF. The codes of this squadron were "JX" and color scheme was usual sea grey/green on upper surfaces, dull black (RLM2, if I rememebr well... ) on lower surfaces. Eventually, the planes were all covered black...

See: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/stories/s-ldr-karel-m-kut-kuttelwascher-dfc-bar-1602.html

If you want, I have a book about RAF nioghtfighters, can scan it or dig into it for any info you need.

I have not done with this yet, so I will be posting more after I have researched and pondered a few more options, including the Mk2 Night Fighter which I like a lot...8)

One option that would be cool was the Mk.1 used by the RAAF. Natural metal with RAAF PTO style roundels. Serial no. was V7476. It was tropicalised though so you would have to add a filter and what not.

Interesting... 8)

I'm fairly happy with my 247 Sqn night fighter, but would like to find out more about:

Belgium
Netherlands
Yugoslavia
Norway

NB: The RAAF one seems to be green? or have I not found the right picture yet?

It seems this a/c was repainted a few times Clave. It arrived in Oz in standard RAF colours, was then painted foliage green and sky blue undersides with RAAF style roundels and finally silver with a red spinner. see here
