Knaupel Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Hi Guys, I would like to introduce my Great Wall Hobby P-61A. The kit is some kind of Mr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde... Some parts are great, some parts are not. You have to take your time when assembling, it´s ab bit tricky closing the fuselage. You can see my attempt doing this kit here: pk76scalemodeling.blogspot.com Please let me know your thoughts about my built. Cheers Peter Edited October 25, 2019 by Knaupel 43 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Nice build. Why the clear nose? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 That's a great looking Widow. Especially the black finish is superb. I wish I had the time to build one among my many other modelling ideas... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Looks nice! One "constructive criticism" observation: I find your "frame" on the photos a bit busy- the first time it made a nice lead in to your presentation, but it distracts from the model itself as I scroll down, especially because I then see the same thing above and below each picture as they stack. The more so because white background on photo and white background on website all blends together. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dog Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Superb finish on this well worn beast. How did you achieve the realistic chipping effect on your model. Looks great. I see we both ran into the same problem around the front end though 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some didn’t have them painted over so as to not have the paint interfere with the radar. But underneath all the painted noses was the same material. Semi opaque fiberglass. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Wow! Great work on the big beast! The chipping and weathering in general is very effective, and I like it very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Very nice indeed - beautifully presented too! A fascinating subject to me. One day I just might buy that Hobbyboss 1/72 kit (that's more my size). Thanks for inspiring me (though my Wife won't be pleased if I bring home another kit).🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Great looking Widow! The paint, the chipping and the artwork, all comes together to make her a beautiful beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Awesome P-61. The paint and weathered job are well done. Which one would you recommend more, the one from HobbyBoss or the GWH one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Callahan Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Ok, thank you, may ask again, why the Hobbyboss is not recommend? I am asking coz some modelers saying that the airbrakes, flaps or other airlerons on the GWH one are in wrong shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Joyce Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 As others have mentioned, Peter, your paintwork and the weathering are superbly done. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djos Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 This is really amazing beast. You mastered overall black finish, and turn in general boring look to dynamic and realistic one. Great work Regards Djordje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the HobbyBoss one and it was an awful kit to build. I'm not fussed about which one is the most accurate, but there were so many problems with the kit it made it quite an unpleasant experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
