I see that we are official now, so to finalize what I will build. I saw some nice photo's of a mk.II Spitfire that really looked good. Jesper are you still interested in helping out, I know that I will need your help?

Terri I have not had the oppertunity to peak at that kit, is it a good one? Is it a relaxing build or does it take a little more effort. I have seen the box but not the inside, well now we need 5 more.

Hi Robert , I've only read reviews on the kit . The parts are very well done and the PE parts that come with aren't all that bad . The instrument panel looks a little big for it . More then likely it will be replaced . Other that I haven't built any of their kit's . Still working on the Fokker D.VII
I do have the clear one as well ( way they would do that makes no sence ) one of the fuselage sides is broken . The clear plastic is to brittle .

@ Terri & Andrew, what unit was flying the 1 1/2 Strutter at night? I think I remember them being used by the Royal Naval squadrons. Were they used for home protection against airships? I do not know much re: the 1 1/2 Strutter, maybe the two of you could educate me, my main intrest has been WWII. Any way we only need 3 more.

I think I have chosen my aircraft for this, the Italeri Dornier do 217 J-1/2 Nachtjäger for 1:72 scale (kit nr. 1266). It has italian markings also, is it possible to make italian dornier nightfighter? o.o
