The last of the night fighter breed with a FuG 240 Berlin N-1a radar. The first appearance of the radar dish in the Luftwaffe instead of the cumbersome antennae arrays.
Hello all and welcome to my latest build. The Tamiya F35A Lightning II, dressed up in RAAF No. 3 Squadron colours. The version depicted in this kit is serial number A35-009, flown by Wing Commander Darren "Clarey" Clare, who was [...]

This kit is from 1972 and is by the defunct company Entex, from horrible instructions to terrible fit and everything in between it has [...]
