Been waiting to start this one for a while but now I been moved from my normal work bench into a cupboard I realised just how many kits I have in the stash, 40+ (SWMBO also saw these) and in the move this one came to her attention so she said this should be the next one built. Hobby Boss's P61A Black Widow kit in 1/72, this will be done as aircraft 42-25531 which was the personal aircraft of General Earl W Barnes who was the commander of the 13th Air Task Force, summer 1944. This was the only Black widow to be unpainted if only for 3-6 months before being painted black. In 1/48 decals are available but I couldn't find them in 1/72. I have the Eduard cockpit etch and a decal set for the serials. I have seen other pictures that do not have the art work on the tail but I may try making this as a decal. The Hobby Boss kit looks nice and I will be using Billn53 previous build as reference and other than the paint scheme it should be straight forward. I sprayed some of the interior green at some point but nothing more.
