I actually was considering the PV-1 myself but I couldn't start before the end of the year. I'll wait and see what Terry chooses. While the PV-1 may seem a bit of a stretch for a night fighter, the Marines actually fared better with it than the Army did with the P-70. The P-70 ended the war with only two confirmed night fighter kills while the Marines were credited with 12 in the PV-1. Part of that was due to opportunity and partly due to the fact that the P-70 wasn't equipped with superchargers and by the time they reached altitude their prey was long gone.
