bcordes Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hi everybody, my current modelling project is the Hobby Boss P-61 Black Widow. I am trying to built her as an "A" model. I am not quite sure which colour sheme I will use as I like the od/neutral gray versions as much as the complete black ones. Maybe I will go for "Skippy" aka "Nocturnal Nemesis". I bought every aftermarket stuff I could get, which is quite a lot. The first stage of building is now finished and the next step will be painting the interior before closing the fuselage. Yesterday I took some photos of the unpainted model at this stage. It is not very easy to find reliable resources of some areas of the plane. It is also sometimes confusing what is an "A" or a "B" version because the different resources have different opinions. So, I tried my very best to build an accurate "A" version but sometimes I had to guess. Please let me know what you think about it. Cheers, Bodo Pfuf, Kagemusha, Harold and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcordes Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Barry, the PE is Eduard and I didn´t use any other PE on this kit. The barrels are profimodeller, the wheels true details. The cockpit (which you can´t see on the photos) is avionics. Bodo Edited May 22, 2014 by bcordes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thanks Bodo, I have been trying to decide on what if any PE to add for my future Widow build. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cellarideas Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Really nice work! I have not done any work with soldering metal like your ladders. What tools and techniques do you use? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Absolutely stunning work - I take it the white details in the gun bay are scratchbuilt ? Lovely. But that nose wheels need a lot of air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
