Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5a "Night Fighter", Eduard 1/48
Out of a Eduard "Royal Dual Combo" kit in 1/48 I build a Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5a as Night Fighter. This is model number six of 2018.
Beside the kit I used further Eduard accessories, like Brassin radiator, wheels, stretchers and air screw hub. Some other resin and additional PE was already part of the Royal edition. The air screw is again a self made wooden one.
I used paints form Alclad, Gunze, Mr.Paint and oils for weathering.
The original SE.5a is shown in Windsock Datafile Special with two pictures and a color profile.
The kit and the accessories allows great details, but the build is a bit complex.
For more information feel free to visit the build report:

And now the pictures!
The NIVO color (Night Invisible Varnish Orfordness) is a good camouflage
Cheers,
Frank
EDIT: More pictures with details see another posting later

Having followed your build thread with great interest, I am really pleased that you have achieved such a remarkable result with this kit. The extra details that you have added, together with the incredibly realistic paint finishes for the metal and wood make this a model to remember. Congratulations on a stunning build.

Another spectacular finish Frank! The detailing and finish are, as always, superbly executed and the rigging is very impressive as well. Your work in 1:48 Scale amazes me, like all of your subjects this one looks to be larger. Just wonderful work Sir!
Cheers,

I am not so into this construction but your interpretaction makes me feel as I would approach SE.5 build for sure. Needless to say I got 2 pcs in the stash (Eduard, Roden)
Great outcome!

Thanks you very much for your nice comments!
My friends of the german model board ask for more details on the pictures, on a brighter background, so I made another set.
Have fun with the pictures!
On the right side there are the six starter buttons of the flares visible:
