    Hi everyone! I opened my door today and I found a gift sent from my friend @lis . Here it is...

    The Revell Nighthawk is a rebox of the very good MPM offering. @lis put in the box a nice set of resin wheels and Eduard masks. What more to ask?

    I will most probably do the box art, stationed in California, probably not sent overseas in the Pacific Theater.

    Since the model represents a type flown in the Pacific Theater, I decided to enter it into our friend's @lis fantastic GB here and I hope it is ok.

    Thanks for the wonderful gift, my friend!

    Of course, I am starting it right away!

    Fitting seems not too bad, Spiros @fiveten
    Those tires do look much more detailed than the original ones.

    Initial coarse sanding after liquefied styrene application, with the Nighthawk looking more homogeneous...
