Yep this is a "tough" one especially the canopy.  I wanted to make a closed canopy and I made such a mess of it that I re-bought  the model to get a new canopy

Be prepared for some frustration.  The Revell P-61 is an old kit, known for various fit problems.  I built one recently and had to do a lot of "improvising."  But it will result in a decent model if you take care.

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

I could not see the pictures for some reasons.....Any how I wish you a speedy recover from your injury and will find comfort in this hobby. I bought the same kit 2 weeks ago and plan to build it some time in next couple months...

To my fellow forum members,

As promised, here is my P-61 build in a step by step photo shoot.  I suffered a work related injury TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) so some of my details have a hard time to convey itself.  I was able to start on the most basic steps in any build; the cockpit.  As I progress, I will continue to add to this thread.  

It looks ok to me, not great, but just ok.  I'm awaiting a PE bending tool, and only then Can I progress to the next step in building my P-61.  For now, please enjoy my first introductory after a 40 year hiatus.
