One of the most distinctive aircraft of the Second World War, the P-61 Black Widow was the first US aircraft designed specifically for combat at night and the first developed with radar as its primary method of target detection. Powered by two mighty Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp engines, this was a very big airplane for a fighter, but if it managed to detect an enemy aircraft, its impressive array of offensive firepower would usually result in the Black Widow living up to its sinister name. It is thought that a P-61 Black Widow operating in the Pacific Theater scored the final Allied aerial victory of the Second World War, in the hours just prior to Japan’s surrender.

It’s a plane
I may have been spoiled with other model kits, but the directions are rough and a bit difficult to understand. It still ended up coming together pretty well though.

Disappointed
This just isnt up to the quality of an Airfix model. Maybe this is old tooling? Maybe its a starter set? Either way its poor quality and far from what I would expect.

Needs a refresh or complete redesign
I love building models, and I love Airfix, but this is a serious letdown. There was lots of flash, the parts weren't molded correctly and there were ejector marks all over. The clear parts did not fit and the decals were easily damaged. I even had to fill the cockpit with lead weights to keep it properly standing on all three wheels. I love the subject matter and I understand it was an older model, but most of the problems seem to be easy to fit with the proper setup. I cannot recommend this model to anyone but the most expert of builders and even then only if they don't mind the frustrations.

I have not made this model since I was a child. It brought back many memories and I was happy with the result which was much better than my first attempt a making this :-)

Disappointed
I thought the airkit was going to great to build. But I have to say I was disappointed. Some parts are damaged and some parts dont fit . I will not recommend the P-61 to anyone

Modello vintage ma ben realizzato
Da amatori, c'è ovviamente di lavorarci nell'assemblaggio e nella colorazione ma il risultato è ottimo
