I am building the 1/48 Great Wall Hobby P-61B. The P-61 nicknamed "Black Widow" was the first aircraft specifically designed to be a night fighter. It was built by Northrop at their Hawthorn California facility. The aircraft was used in most of the theaters during the war. The scheme for this build is for the "Lady in the Dark" which is "unofficially" credited with the last Allied air victory before Japan surrendered (VJ day) in 1945. For this build I will be using the Eduard "BigEd" detail set which has eight photo etch sheets to detail this kit inside and out. I am three weeks into this build. I will updated this thread weekly as I progress on this build. You can read all the details and photos from the start in my build log at https://davidsscalemodels.com/build-log/1-48-p-61b-black-widow-lady-in-the-dark/
