jacksdad64 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the kind words Tom. Anything I have found has just been with good old Google. I'm sure Derek will be along with more useful information. Steve Edited April 18, 2013 by jacksdad64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Following this is like reading a good book: lot's of twists and turns with a few surprises thrown in! Are there any references you recommend that detail General Barnes' experiences with this aircraft? Cheers, Tom There is surprisingly little information around Tom, unless he wrote a biography? I am sure that someone will know more than I about him and his exploits, so hopefully, they will chip in and enlighten us all?

Iain Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Have you got Wings of Fame Vol 15? Has some images and a paragraph on this aeroplane/Gen Barnes. Also one photo and a precis of the aircraft history in 'Northrop's Night Hunter'. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad64 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Well I am surprised there is very little information/pictures available. However, for detail stuff on the P-61this really is quite superb. http://www.maam.org/p61/p61_rest.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Great start Jack! If you need any assistance on the foiling front let me know. Really looking forward to this one..................looks like if Im going to do a widow Im going to have to change my scheme! I think Ill probably be sick of foiling individual panels once done with the Mitchell anyway. rofl Looking forward to the next update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad64 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks for the offer. I'm sure I will be asking you. One area I had a concern with was the fin cap but having looked at pictures on the maam site it seems that there is a thin strip on the leading edge as opposed to a wrap around panel. Here is the picture I am talking about. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Steve Where did you get your kit? I see you Brits. have no problems receiving them. LOL keep it going as for this is the only Black Widow fix I will get for a while!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad64 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Ok this mornings update. I have fitted the gun covers and a perfect fit they are too. I will be putting a piece of card at the back of the hole and filling it in next. A wee question for those who know. Here is the kit upper radio bulkhead. But there is also an unused bulkhead with a squarer top. Anyone know what version that would be for? Until next time.

Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Steve Check to see if it fits in the Gunners spot? What would be the Copilot back wall. In some P-61s had the radios and scope there, If Irecall right. Cheers Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad64 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Ok. I will do that when I get home from work. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad64 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 This is the only place I can see it fitting. It certainly does not fit at the front end. And there are ribs where it is resting against. Any clues? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
