OOB build with Blue Rider home defense night fighter decals and Eduard photo etch set.  (Guess it’s not OOB then!) lol.



















Thanks for looking in!

Tim,

Very nice indeed!  You are a modeler after my own heart building short run and vac kits.

Thank you Stuart. I enjoy building the lesser known types as well. Thinking to myself, there’s probably not a lot of those in peoples display cases!

Very nice model, night livery is captivating and a fine complement. Doesn't really look built OOB, specially for a short run. Thumbs up ;)
Ciao

Me too. I built one of these based on the Czechmaster resin kit (posted here last April).  Somewhere in storage I have 1/2-finished 1/72 F.E.2c in night-fighting livery that needs resurrecting.

Nice build, Tim.  We need to keep bringing these rare birds to light.

Yes. I think it’s supposed to be representing the crew of this “deadly” aircraft! Lol

I enjoy the variety of models you build.  It gives me incentive to build some lesser known planes.

So much rigging on such a tiny model, you are a man of great skill and infinite patience!

Excellent model of one of the lesser known types. The markings are very interesting and different.

I never cease to wonder why the designers of the BE2 types did not change the positions of the pilot and observer during the development of the different types. Can anyone explain why?

What a beautiful build, and such an interesting scheme to boot!  Knowing it came from a Pegasus kit makes it even more so IMHO.
