P-61, Black Widow
Posted by didfaI on Friday, May 21, 2004 8:07 PM
While looking for info on building a P-61, I noticed that the last time a build was featured in FSM was March, 1995! 'How To' features abound on Me-109's, P-51's, Corsairs, etc. How about a fresh look at the only American twin engined night fighter of WW II? I've got one on the shelf.Sad [:(]

P-38M was a derivative of the basic P-38. The P-61 was a dedicated night fighter. There seems to be a difference.Big Smile [:D]
