Is the black nosecone there cause it's a night fighter? Forgive me if the answer is obvious, very tired right now.

The nose cone actually would have been painted the same as the fuselage but it does cover a different type rader used later in the war.  Also seen on Mossies.  Referred to as a "Thimble" nose.

If anyone could tell me what were the main variants used? That would be great.

Night Fighter Mk Ic - 397 total MkiC production by Bristol
Night Fighter Mk II - production 597
Mk VIF - Ground Attack/Night Fighter - 879 Bristol (second company can't read) 150
Mk VIc - Maritime Strike Fighter - 596 built? Fairey built 175

TF Mk X - Strike Fighter/Torpedo bomber - 2,265 (majority built by Bristol)

F Mk XIc - Maritime Strike Fighter - 163 built

Now this is just one source tells me, I know there were over 5,000 built so these numbers are off slightly, also I can barely read the manual on the production models (these numbers don't include prototypes, or varients) also some were used as Tow targets (actually quite a few)

410 vs. Beau MkX - with the Beau flown by Ditka and the 410 flown by Walter Payton. Payton's got Doug Plank gunning and Ditka's got mini-Ditka as the GIB. Who wins?

No...you cannot put Ditka in a matchup like dis cuz Walter, as sweet as he was, was not up to the challenge....remember, Ditka IS GOD, and therefore could fly a donkey cart and fly circles around even Bruv....Ditka wins hands down.
