G.W.H. 1/48 P-61A Black Widow

March 22, 2025 · in Aviation · · 10 · 228

A complex and highly detailed kit that does justice with the outstanding fighter.

Panel lines are finely engraved and the fit of parts is very good. The revised kit had the engine and cowls issues fixed. However, there are many small issues to fix, including the position of parts in the cockpit, cockpit frame that does not fit well to the fuselage missing details in wheel bays and the list is quite extensive.

Some issues were left un attended to keep the work flow. If I was to do another P-61, I would choose the black scheme that hides most of the blemishes.
