Hobby Boss 1/72 US P-61C Black Widow: Faithful Night Fighter Kit

This Hobby Boss 1/72 P-61C Black Widow model recreates the iconic night fighter in a tidy, displayable scale. Model builders will recognise the twin-engine stance and bulbous radar nose reflected in the parts layout.

Operational Role and Model Accuracy

The P-61C served as a radar-equipped night interceptor, and this kit follows that historic role by preserving the aircraft's unique proportions and panel lines. It is suitable for builders who value period correct shape and form.

Construction Notes and Showcase Advice

Expect close-fitting components and fine detail that reward careful assembly and finishing. A well-painted and decaled P-61C makes a strong centrepiece on a WWII shelf or in a themed diorama.
