Here is my three year anniversary build.  I didn’t have any issues with the canopy.  Although many a Forum members pointed out that the first issued kits molds weren’t compromised.  

Forum members were correct in that the statement made in regards to the re-issued kits have had issues with the molds that were compromised due to it‘s age and that I did have the normal fit and finnish problems with the mating of the twin boom and the nacelles.  

Overall, I truly enjoyed more than anything else, were my friends conversations on my thread.  The build was fantastic but the human touch was the key to a successful build.  It was you my friends that made me enjoy building this Black Widow celebration.  

Please see below the photos I took this evening.  I’ll be taking more photos tomorrow during daylight hours.

MAN !!!!!   When I grow up I want to be able to build just like you!

Awesome job.  I will be vewing you're pictures "repeatedly" over the next month or so ,that way mine will come out better.

 Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

Nice work on a challenging kit Tosh. You made short work of it.

Yes GMorrison I do follow directions as well as remember (Of which is a challenge for me) your words of wisdom.  Especially Morrison’s third law.  lol!  But, Thank you for your support in my builds.  Especially this one, it means very much to me my friend.  

When I first joined this forum, as you are well aware, my very first WIP was a Revell P-61 Black Widow.  Amoung many other Forum Members that supported my Black Widow build, I recall yours and M.Brindos guiding me closely in my project and welcoming me very warmly into FSM Forums!  Thank you.

Great job Toshi, you've made this plane looks so menacing.

 

Thank you Uncle Jay Jay.  It definately is an aircraft that has one of those very menacing stances.  It is one mean looking plane!  I want to thank you for supporting my WIP’s, it means very much to me.

To Lawdog114,

Making this kit as my first introductory WIP three years ago was tough.  I must have been out of my mind!  lol!  Especially since this kit was one of my first WIP.  lol!  Rebuilding this kit three years later was pure insanity and I should be locked up for this!  lol!

No but seriously, I took what I remembered and learned, especially from FSM Forum Members like you through these years and applied this knowledge to this WIP build to the best of my abilities.  I must admit, your WIP builds are just amazing and continues to inspire my mind.  And I thank you for that!  

Your friend, Toshi
