WRONG SQUADRON. Carroll Smith was the CO of the 418th NFS. My father took over his job when Smith rotated back to the States. My dad was the CO till just after the end of the WW II.

 

Great story.....would you like a cookie?

Great build, Shirley- er, Joe!  Really nice finish on that black scheme.  I have the latter release on order- motivation to finish my Mohawk, when my eyes heal, that is. Cheers!

WOW!  This turned out great!  I agree with you about getting a black scheme "just right" and you sir nailed it!  I plan to use your tips/suggestions on my next nighterfighter build.

Lawdog, Beautifull job on this P-61. I have this kit and would like to get to it one day. Will take notes from your build to apply to mine. Just FYI, the "Box" in between the magnetos is the Prop Governor.
