Pretty interesting web host, Toshi!
That airplane came out swell.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
GMorrison Pretty interesting web host, Toshi! That airplane came out swell.
The P-61 Black Widow; “Came out swell” due to a large part of you. You have inspired, pushed, visualized, and truly helped me as a mentor and I want to thank you for this. You’ve been there since the beginning of my very first P-61 Black Widow WIP build three years ago and I’m most honored for that. Thank you.
Your Friend, Toshi
GMorrison, here is the original P-61 Black Widow build from three years ago.
Those cannons were so powerful that when they fired, they took about 20 knots out of the airspeed. They were operated by the pilot, the turret was operated by the gunner or in some cases the R/O.

Hey Toshi, Nice job as usual. I remember building one of these when I was a teenager.
Well, it had glue, some paint, and decals, but certainly not anywhere near what you have done.
Be well, my friend.

Dwayne or Dman or just D. All comments are welcome on my builds.

The second one I didn’t paint and it had tube glue finger prints all over. lol! I built a mini diorama out of ply-wood and dirt. I then used all the figures that came with the kit. The man that’s just standing, the exhaust repair guy, (He’s the one that sits at the top of the wing repairing the exhaust system) and then the most famous figure of all of this kit, the guy standing on the fifty gallon drum repairing/adjusting the radar. This kit is such a classic kit for modelers of WWII aircraft. You gotta love it!
Your friend, Toshi
Toshi GMorrison, here is the original P-61 Black Widow build from three years ago.
I wanted to add my three photos of the two different P-61 Black Widow builds three years apart. Here they are on my ”Wall of Fame” (Planes). lol!
Here‘s an interesting note, the Black Widow built three years ago is a re-release kit purchased from Hobby Lobby. The most recent build is a kit purchased off from eBay. It was a original 1974 sealed Black Widow. As far as build quality of fit and finish, both kits had their issues and or concerns of your typical Monogram/Revell models.
I learned an important rule of thumb from FSM Forum Members and I thank you for this. It’s the modeler that can take a not so perfect kit and make it look great!
The Black Widow on the right that is weathered is the first build three years ago. And of course the one on the left is the most recent build of which is a clean build.
What you see below on the left is the clean built Black Widow. Both together side by side.

Good job Toshi. You decided to do a better job with more detail than your first build and you succeeded.
What's next?

1943Mike Good job Toshi. You decided to do a better job with more detail than your first build and you succeeded. What's next?
I learn so much from your’s and members input, I try to be a sponge and absorb as much information as possible. I thank you and FSM Forum Members for this.
As far as what’s next? I don’t know? I don’t have a stash so I’ll check out eBay or go to Hobby Lobby with Mrs. Toshi to see what catches my eye.
Last year in our three bedroom condo (If you recall, we moved into a two bedroom condo to down size) I had my Planes hanging from the ceiling. For some reason two of my Planes came crashing down and got destroyed. it was a GWH 1/48 P-61 Black Widow and a Revell 1/32 F-4 Phantom. Maybe I’ll replace these two Planes.
Another great build, Toshi! I am beginning to hate you because you build them so fast and magnificently! And I also voted you as "The Man". I can't wait to see what's next. Keep them coming!

I can’t wait to see what’s next either as I have no clue nor idea. I’m still trying to shop around. But as soon as I figure something out, you know I’ll post it ASAP!
Your friend, Toshi!
Congrats on the build Toshi, you seem to now have quite a collection of twin tailed birds.

Nicely finished Toshi, really like the look of that. Nice addition to your growing collection.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Another exceptional build from you Toshi. Leaps and bounds from when you started out here.
I suspect another Phantom is in the near future for you.

Hey! Just checking on you Toshi my friend! Your Black Widows are cool. That always looked like a fun kit to build. There's one in the USAF museum that I inspected and further sparked my interest in building one.
Good job again Toshi!
