Think best night fighter with best flying properties and highest speed was Mosquito NF!
It was also highly manoeuvrable, much better than sluggish He-219!

Must agree with you Nico. Mosquito did have outstanding performances!

In this case we will need to arrange some better scans of details... one day ;)

First, we have to examine closely the kit and find what details are missing... But as said by No. 1 : one day. :-roll

I still have some parts from my Frog 1/72 kit......that I built in the sixties. Some day a Tamiya version in my scale will join my pile!

I also have Frog kit reissued by Revell in some build stage. Also have Dragon decals from two kits I have before.

Frog's is not the best. Dragon's one is good but mine was made of bad quality plastic and warped badly... I have Revell's which is a good basis but not yet finished...

Revell's one from year 1966 was a good kit. I don't understand why they replaced it by the Frog kit...
Dragon issued two versions : A-0 and A-7.

I only remember that my Frog kit was the first time I ever tried to paint yellow, with rather poor results! It seems this one was worked on in 1969 or so......memories!! ;)

like you said, the kit is amazing, I built one years ago and recently when I got offered one in good price it took me about 1.5 miliseconds to think about buying it....
