Just found this Night Ray over the weekend at a yard sale. It was in need of some Major TLC. I got out the the cleaning supply's and went to work. Three hours later and a dip into my personal weapons storage container this is what I came up with.
I consider myself to be very lucky I got this far on my own extra parts. The stickers are almost perfect and I have a lot of the major weapons. I am still missing a few parts to complete my Night Ray.
The large orange duel exhaust part for the engine.
The 4 small orange guns that sit on the rails.
The 2 orange medium size missiles that sit on the side of the crows nest.
1 Search Light cover
1 Depth Charge Compartment
I also want to replace the 2 large orange side cannons becuase they are both damaged. The ones I have on there will do for now.
Any help with these parts would be great. I was also wondering what the going price for one of these is? I only ask because this is the first one I have ever seen in-hand. What a score for a $5.00 yard sale toy.
Top 3 pics are before, bottom 2 are after. |

I think it's frosted (?) as compared to the VvsV version which isn't (?). I may have that backwards. | |

I had all my Nightforce in my room and when I went to bed, I can see all the stickers. On the Night Boomer, it looks really nice like it's the running lights on a plane. | |
