Habu12 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hobby Boss kit, OOB with Eaglaecals. Nice little kit. Some slight fit issues, but they were resolved easily. A one day build, and the last for my current workbench, as I’m moving in a few days. Next build from the new one! 45 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Crikey, that's good ... especially for a one-day build! How on earth did you achieve that?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habu12 Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Practice, boys, lots of practice. But I also work smarter not harder On a 1/72 build, I spent almost no time on the interior. You won't see it anyway. Next I build as much as I can BEFORE filling and sanding. That way. I only sand seams you actually see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Very, very nice! And done in just one day... it took me ten to build mine 😉 I also did "Borrowed Time", but opted for the earlier markings (before the shark mouth was added). Interesting to see your interpretation. Mine is posted at https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235031669-hobby-boss-172-p-61a-black-widow/ The Hobby Boss "easy assembly" P-61s are great kits, don't you agree! I'm happy to see they've done A, B, and C variants of the Black Widow. Only the A was available when I did mine, and I'm tempted to do another (probably the turreted B ) Edited September 6, 2018 by billn53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s their 1/48 P-51s and P-30s that are meh. The P-38 is nice though, despite some shape and soft detail issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG X Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Such an iconic aircraft and a chilling sounding name - lovely job and good luck with the move - I will keep an eye out for your 'maiden flight' at the new bench location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Very impressive. I'm building one of these myself, although it's an all-black, turret version. Hope I can get a similarly realistic result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad-4N Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Fantastic job!!! Perhaps you live on the planet Remulak where one day equals 123 Earth hours? 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 That's fantastic. I find the P-61 to be a fascinating piece of hardware. Almost bought the Hobby Boss kit a day or two ago, but managed to resist. Now I think I've changed my mind about that. Great build and finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
