That model seems to have radar antennas too.
Is this a hint to realistic night fighter ground guided with early radar operations in SOW?

Correct. The model depicted here is a Mk.If night fighter. So actually I'd say it should be painted black overall, not Dark green/dark earth over sky...

Wow, this is looking great, almost as good looking as Olga, (almost!) lol!

Keep up the good work chaps, really looking forward to the dynamic weather too, looks like you can adjust it with a lot of precision in the FMB.

Carry on!

I just read today that the earliest Mk.IFs (at Tangmere) were camouflaged.

Found this on the net too (maybe not IFs):
