Hobby Boss 1/72 US P-61C Black Widow: Compact WWII Night Fighter Replica

The Hobby Boss 1/72 P-61C Black Widow kit lets enthusiasts reproduce the distinctive night fighter in a compact scale. The model captures the twin-engine form and radar nose profile that made the aircraft stand out in period operations.

Authentic Lines and Historical Context

The P-61C was built around airborne radar and nocturnal interception missions, and this kit mirrors those design cues with accurate fuselage and tail shapes. Modelers interested in history will find the silhouette faithful to reference photos.

Build Workflow and Presentation Tips

Expect several small subassemblies and delicate parts that benefit from patient trimming and dry-fitting. When complete, the model presents well on a shelf or diorama platform thanks to its recognisable form.

The kit is better suited to someone with basic modelling experience. Beginners can finish it but should allow extra time for delicate assemblies and painting.
Yes, decals are included and are designed to match the kit's markings, though setting solution can help with panel line conformity.
Use a fine brush or airbrush for cockpit and radar details, and mask carefully for clean demarcations. Thin coats give the best finish on PS plastic.
