Which kit? There is only one AEG G.IV kit entitled to the be called a P.O.S.
and that is the Merlin AEG G.IV. Mine is still unfinished after several
years.. I don't think I have any full sheets of night loz left, but I'll
look.

In light of the fact that A/G night loz is OOP and everyone is holding on to
theirs, I have had success with this technique: Apply regular upper surface
loz to the parts. When you've solvented it down and everything is good and
dry with all air bubbles gone, mix uo some tinted Future. Use a mix of black
and dark blue. Spray a series of light coats (Don't let it get wet enough to
run) and watch the colors darken. Just be patient and practice on some
scraps first. The trick is even light coats. You can work up to a very
acceptable night lozenge, especially if there are no Night Loz decals
available and masking and painting  is the only other option.
