Expanded version will be posted here later.
Happy modelling
Beauty! It's great to have been made and painted!
Best regards, Vlad.
A true work of art!
Another fine build, Tolga...I'll be curious to see the "expanded version" and read the story behind the removal of the turret (unless the 'A' didn't have one).
Thanks!
Actually the base kit ( at the following link ) has already the removal turret part.

But the real problem is the length of the nose landing gear leg. It s too short and it needs correction. And also cowlings with the reduction gear fairings, and magnetos
FWIW, if you are doing the Great Wall kit, get the Scale Aircraft Conversions white metal landing gear. I worked with Ross to get the nose gear the right length. OOB, the kit does look very strange with that short gear "sit."
Another boringly-excellent Tolga Ulgur model 🙂
To correct nose landing gear I used the part from new version of this kit which is already included in my collection.
This new version part is 2 or 3 mm longer than the inaccurate one.

Now I have to get a metal correction set ( as you mentioned) to built my P-61B in the future.
Excellent !
Most Excellent! I really like your attention to detail in the building of your models and love the final paint finish on this 'Widow.
great work from a master
Didn't need to see the name under the photo to know who's build it was. Another beauty.
What else is there to say? It's really very good.
Tolga,
This is absolutely stunning. I really admire your skill and attention to detail.
I just saw this fine model. Somehow I just missed it in August. It is a beautifully built plane Tolga. Congratulations!
