Maglar, a friend tried to make that P-61 and butcher'd and then gave it to me so if you need any parts, just holler. I was gonna throw it out but won't now. Mostly the guy got alot of fuselage on his glue! But other parts are still there.

Will you be cutting the wingtips off?
Catch22
Major
For that one, he'll have to. It's easy, just cut off up until the light. That is, if he can get the decals.
i think so !!!!!!! going to look at them anyway
i've got the kagero corsair book Cory it shows the clipped wings on RN corsairs

Ok, good, so you know exactly where to cut it.
Will do... it seems to sound like a problem kit amongst everyone, maybe I should just enter my PBY/OA Catalina? hmm
Catch22
Major
It's not a bad kit, and it looks really cool when finished, I suggest you do it. Just get your putty ready!

Yeah, I'd paint it matt. You wouldn't want it too glossy in the night. I'm not an expert though, maybe somebody will have a reason for it being glossy.

Far as I know, the P61's were finished in gloss black, certainly in Europe anyway. They might have been matt black in the PTO though, so you'd need to do a bit of research.
The kit should be OK, you just have to remember that it's originally a Monogram kit from the 1970's, so the moulds will have seen some hammer!

Have the P-61 myself....old 70's as Terry mentioned, raised panel lines and what not.
After reading the above, I cracked open my Catalina box and it has recessed panel lines and seems more recent. Scratch me for the P-61, I will be entering the PBY/OA -10A Catalina "AFB Hamilton" Version. Here it is, and if you want to see the in-box parts check page 112 of the "New Purchases" thread.

Cool Jan, maybe you can post some pics of the cockpit instructions. My kit is the SBD-1 which I have to modify to a -2 which, I believe, had added rear guns. So I need to see how the placement was. The SBD-3 IIRC was up-gunned and enhanced electrical, so it will give me an idea.

Are you bragging about size again...?
