Maybe you'll actually build it ! (I hope).....Harv

 

Not this one Harv, it is strictly a pattern mule for my EMD products; however, if I do manage to get another one, I will build that (having said that, I will most likely be building another type of Widow before I get my hands on another HB kit).

 

Cheers

Look forward to what you produce for the kit, pre-ordered mine from Relish Models back in February... still waiting... an experience I won't be repeating.

 

Thanks Andy - Sorry to hear of your delay issues with Relish Models (They may have had valid reasons for the delay?). My policy is that I will not offer products for sale through EMD unless I physically have them in stock, that way I can guarantee to dispatch them on immediate receipt of funds.

F-15 Reporter?

 

Hi Levier,

 

In two senses, yes. I have a vacform (Ex-ID Models) 1/32 P-61 Black Widow which I intend to make as part of the forthcoming LSP vacform GB, but as it has no transparencies, I have decided to complete it as a F-15A Reporter.

 

In the other sense, I wouldn't mind making an F-15A Reporter conversion set for the HB P-61B kit as well.

 

Regards

 

Derek

I thought - simply out of curiosity - that it would be fun to see how the main airframe parts of the old ID Models (Now Tigger Models) 1/32 vacform P-61 Black Widow stacks up against the HB kit.

It is generally fractionally larger than the HB kit but agrees very well in overall shape which is amazing considering how old the origins of this vacform kit are. I would give Tigger Models a big thumbs up for this vacform kit. My vacform kit will not be built as a P-61 Black Widow.
