P-61 Black Widow by Monogram/Revell

[SA Dave]

The canopy is not that a bad fix Looking forward to this build mate

I managed to get the interior parts painted by using the P-61 Project as a painting guide. Dark green for the flight deck, Chrome green ( Testor's Forrest green) for under the flight deck including the nose gear well and chrome yellow for the radar operator's section except for the floor, the main gear wells and engine cowlings.

You're moving right along Gary! Looks great so far!

 

[SA Dave]

great going

 

[bob letterman]

Headed in the right direction Gary!

Thanks!!!! Found all kinds of nooks and crannies to pack lead sheeting in. If that's not enough there's the engine nacelles. Gary S. XLV MMXX

 

[chrispisme]

Thats a lot of lead! Going to be scale weight too! (Humor)
I built one of these.... last year? For the “another World” group build, I had to use super glue and epoxy to build mine as no other glue would melt the plastic to make joins. Then I put some weird engines on it...

Picked up this correction set for the Monogram P-61... Hmmmm, I probably should buy the kit!

 

[sharkman]

Good progress!

 

[Barney]

This set...

 

[centaur567]

Thant's a nice set, but I'm doing this strictly OOB, except for the lead, and that gives it the scale weight of a Sherman tank.
Found a good putty at Wallyworld that cost $3.17 a tube. There is a small gap under the wings that was filled with white glue.

See pics. Thanks, Gary S. XLV MMXX

 

[moon puppy]

Nice Gary, got a lot of work ahead.

 

[errains]

I some how missed this...but great work!! I hear this is not an easy kit but your making it look easy.

[Duke Maddog]

Most impressive! I might have to go get some of that putty.

 

[centaur567]

Thanks so much!! It's really not that hard to put together. P-38 kits are the hardest. Testor's glue works fine with this plastic. Gary S. XLV MMXX

 

[Rhino]

She's looking VERY Widow-ish! It looks like the hard part is behind you

 

[sharkman]

Cool Gary!

What's around the engine cowls? Tape?

 

[centaur567]

Thanks!! Yes, that's tape. The cowls are going to be painted red. Gary S. XLV MMXX
