Precision 1/72 Replica of the P-61B Black Widow

The Hobby Boss HB-87262 models the P-61B Black Widow at 1/72 scale, delivering crisp moulding and a recognisable twin-boom profile. It is intended for modellers who value historical detail and hands-on construction.

Night Fighter Heritage and Accurate Lines

The P-61B Black Widow entered service as the US first dedicated night fighter, fitted with radar to intercept aircraft after sunset. This kit reproduces the aircraft's unique structure and fuselage detail to appeal to history-minded modellers and collectors.

Build Experience and Presentation

Defined panel lines and a well-detailed cockpit invite careful painting and finishing techniques. When complete, the model makes a neat display in a cabinet or as part of a themed collection.

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly
  • Paint and Decals: Not included
  • Material: Plastic

How long does the build typically take?

Build time varies with skill and detail level, but allow several evenings for careful assembly, painting and decaling to get a neat finish.

What adhesives and paints are recommended?

Use plastic model cement or cyanoacrylate for small joins, and acrylic or enamel hobby paints as preferred. Primer helps highlight panel lines before final coats.

Are decals suitable for period markings?

The kit does not include decals, so source correct marking sheets or aftermarket decals for authentic wartime schemes.

Can I display this in a diorama?

Yes, the 1/72 scale size suits small dioramas or airfield vignettes and pairs well with contemporary figures and accessories.
