1/72 Dragon Northrop P-61B Black Widow "Lady in the Dark"
This was another commission build using Dragon's 1/72 P-61A/P-61B Black Widow Night Fighter. The client is a huge fan of the Northrop P-61 and really liked the 1/48 scale I built last year. He wanted a 1/72 version in a case for his desk. For this build I used the Ares resin cockpit detail set, Eduard's exterior photo etch set, Quickboost resin engines, Quickboost resin gun barrels for the upper turret, and Print and Scale decal set. The aircraft is mounted in an acrylic display case to protect it. The base was detailed to replicate a World War II Pacific island air field. You can see all the photos and details from start to finish in my build log at: https://davidsscalemodels.com/build-log/1-72-northrop-p-61b-lady-in-the-dark/
This really came out nice, David (@davids_models). It looks like it is 1/48 instead of 1/72. It was a pleasure following along on the build. Well done.
Excellent result as always, David! Definitely fooling the scale!
Superb result, David @davids_models
Very nicely detailed, especially in this scale.
Both the aircraft and diorama look terrific.
Really nice build. The P-61 is such a cool aircraft. Great job.
A masterpiece by a master. Your build article is a "must see" to fully understand the depth of work which went into achieving the superb result.
Excellent work on the model and diorama.
Very nice result.
Nicely done David, and well protected.
The Widow looks great!
