Crossofiron Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 So, here we go again... Those who may have been following my P-61A Thread may have seen my last post regarding a special build for a special friend. We discussed everything; F4U-2's, Spits, even Airacobra's. Imagine my surprise, not at the fact that he said he had found a kit and wouldn't tell me what it was but when he manhandled this thing through the front door... Mark has seen my work on the P-61 and wanted his own Night Ops Aircraft, hence the chats so of course, this one has to be a Black Cat... Anyhoo, a dry fit of the Girl. My God this thing is huge! The Cutting Mat is A2... Talking of cutting, I fancy opening up the Port Side a bit to show some internals, honestly, I cannot believe the detail of this thing... So here we go then...

Greg W Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I started a 1/48 PBY and that was large enough that basically, I treated the wings as one model and the fuselage like another. It seemed to help me cope with the size of the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I will be following this biuld. I just wonder. How are you going to accomplish the cat's eye turret? That aircraft also has a radar above the cockpit correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossofiron Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hi All, With regret, this Project is not to be. My friend passed away recently and in a mark of respect and to raise funds for his family, the kit went to a good home. Apologies all who were looking forward to this thread. Going to try and get my mojo back in the next few weeks on something a bit more simple. Cheers everyone for posting.
