I added some gray last night and removed the masking this morning. I'm kinda happy with it...

[Out2gtcha]

Neat!!!

Sick! (But in that good way.)

Thanks for looking in!

I've painted and added the props (temporarily) I will need to be able to take them off for handling while decalling, weathering etc.

Getting closer...

[Gazzas]

Wow, that looks cool!  I'm curious....  What is the horsepower rating of those engines?

[wingman777]

Aw heck yeah, that works for me.  Looks deadly.

[chrish]

Thanks for the kind words friends!

I've added the last few little details and spooled up the 331's to go do some ground attacks...

Well, not really but, I am calling the project completed.

A bit of weathering was also added here and there to finish up

Squadron "in action nr. 106" on the P-61 p.10, tells of an improvised flyoff between an P-61 and a Mosquito Mk.17: The P-61 won hands down "We could go faster or slower up and down, faster than the pride of the British..": maybe your version was built after all and did perform in this  fly-off?

Sorry, haven't figured out how to do a tongue-in-cheek emoji.

Well with potentially 1700 hp per side with the 331’s and the drop in weight from the big radials to the turboprops...I bet it could do it!

tongue firmly in cheek....being cheeky
