P-61 Black Widow

What ever happened to the P-61 being produced in both 1/48th and 1/72nd scales? I heard that there were two companies doing tem, but I have seen nothing. I know there was a ton of interests for them.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: P-61 Black Widow

That P-61 project is still pending i have been told.....2008 could be the year of the Black Widow....
I think what we have here is that so many other planes were already on the list to be made and all these other paint schemes have to be made first...
that it takes time for a new product to come out ....But i have to tell ya it's been a long wait and i was led to believe that about this time we would see one by now..
But i have a little faith left that we will see one in 2008...Hopefully...

Re: P-61 Black Widow

Do you think we'd be lucky enough to also see the F2T-2 Reporter version?

Well I wait with bated breath. I sure like to see the P61 in 1/72.

Re: P-61 Black Widow

If they do make one, I hope they do one of the earlier olive drab versions. The earlier OD version is the one I would want.

If Eagles Int'l makes their P-61 in 1/48, they will definitely produce a Reporter version as well.

I think Eagles will do a great job on this bird, I also think you're gonna be 2 years older before you're hands get colder, Black Widow style...

Re: P-61 Black Widow

I would think that they would do an O.D. one and a black one. I want to see the glossy black ones. But the O.D. ones, and the reporters would be cool to see.
