JPuente54 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) I have seen on the Kitlynx website a pre-order for the P-61A/B Black Widow from Airfix. Is this a kit from Airfix; or a re-boxing of their two older kits? My search did not reveal any information; but, I may not have asked correctly. And, it is a 1/72nd scale model. The photo shows the box top but, just says "P-61 black Widow" and seems to how the P-61B; but, the site's label says P-61A/B.

Graham Boak Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Airfix have not announced a new Black Widow, so I expect it will be the old kit - but I've never heard about two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 From my personal recollection the fit was a nocturnal nightmare too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs2man Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 The kit is being issued in their "Vintage Classics" range & is , therefore , clearly a reissue of their old kit . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Yep. Cool box art, new decal sheet looks okay, not much else to recommend it alas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the almost total lack of interior , the Frog kit was much nicer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
