My bright idea: 1/72 Northrop Prowler NF.I

[KiwiZac]

Hi all,
A while back a friend sent me a started MPC (Airfix) 1/72 Northrop P-61 Black Widow, which went right into the stash because I had no clue what to do with it.

Then I had a bright* idea.

Presenting a WW2 Royal Air Force nightfighter you may not have heard much of, the Turbinlite-equipped Northrop Prowler NF.I!

*Bright idea! Bright! Because of the Turbinlite! Wehey, geddit?!!

Cool!

Oooh!

My RAF P-61 idea has always been radar-equipped (so basically just a paint job), a Turbinlite version though has never ever crossed my mind.

That paint scheme suits the P-61 well.

That paint scheme suits the P-61 well. 

It does indeed   

I've always struggled with what to do with the P-61 in the stash, never, ever thought of that

BTW it's little things like that, that get you in the "Book" you know

Thank you folks! As I said, receiving this kit kinda knocked me back because I had absolutely no clue what to do. Then about two months ago I started looking at the Turbinlite and asked myself what kit do I have that could suit having one up front...

I first joined this place when I was 17/18, I figured I'd be a fixture in there!!
