+Example of another //what if// fighter from late in the second world war. This was an advanced, single engined, single-seat fighter with adjustable wing geometry. Whilst it did not progress to flight testing, a prototype was found in the closing days of the way some 80% complete.
+This kit visualises one of the proposed //night fighter// variants, hence the radar 'whiskers' and alternative colour scheme.
+It's an old kit, from the early 1990's. Whilst Dragon have made several new production runs of the kit over the years, there's been no //new// model produced since prior to the year __2000__.
