Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, December 31, 2003 8:02 PM
Hi all,
Was just wondering if there is a PE kit for the monogram 1/48 Blackwidow on the market that anyone knows about. Ive looked on the web but cant find anything.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks Bob3242,
I feel kinda silly. I had checked Eduards site before, but looked in the wrong place. I only looked in the colored PE areaDunce [D)].
Ive never worked with PE before and that looks like alittle much to start with Smile [:)].
Thanks again for the help.

It's a pretty indepth set, I built it once a few years ago - very nice rear door details. Not recommended as first PE stuff to work with though.

Hi Kullgan!

The P-61 is my favorite airplane/modeling subject. I've used the PE sets before and they're pretty handy dandy. No place else are you going to find the spoilerons which protruded from the tops of the outer wing panels. The PE sets are loaded with levers and switches of every variety especially on the interior set. To be honest with you, many of the tiny bits were too small for my liking. I loved the fact that they included them but I don't think it would subtract anything from the model if you left a good deal of them off. But that's just me talking. The PE sets are great and I think they give you enough goodies on them to use or not use as you please. I loved how they even provided you with the more realistic rear boarding ladder complete with support arms unlike the very thick one molded onto the Monogram peiece. Just sand that part down, add the PE parts and it looks sweeeeet!

Enjoy!

Eric
