Hi Ted,

looking really nice, great mapping job, can't see any distortion of the lines over the curved surfaces at all. Once John gets his mits on it, its going to come to life in a big way. Looking forward to seeing what units are depicted.

regards Rob.

John has both the cockpits and externals and is painting away. I know when he is done they will be extraordinary. I will make both turreted and nonturreted versions as soon as I get the ok from John.

Yea textures are still in the early stages but coming along, having to make a small break from the P-61 to get the last little bits of the Spitfire VIII sorted, but will be back to it ASAP!

Bravo! Bravo/4

I'm sure you have been good all year Old Tiger, and not on the naughty list

, but I do know you won't be getting this P-61 for Christmas!

I've had the comic "Angel Wing' t2 at Christmas (Romain Hugault drawings / Yann scenario) and there's a beautiful Black Widow inside, "Midnight Miss"!

Can't wait next year to read the t3.

The 150 gal droptanks are already there!
I just have to do a repaint if you want them in black (I made these fully LOD'ed bare metal ones for the P-38s).

PS. What's with the double piccie entry? How can I get a thumbnail and not two life-size attachments in one post?

**gosd** · December 29th, 2015, 17:46

I also have this problem wish somebody could tell a way arround this double entry.

Well thats mighty handy! Like the look of the P-38 ones but appreciate they might not be so good on a night fighter!

Thanks, I merely reacted to the piccies from that comic.
But your remark tickled my curiosity and I went through some books; in-flight piccies etc. prove that 2 to 4 of these tanks really was a historical loadout. In fact, there's mentioning of 300-something gal. tanks! All apparently to extend the loitering time and increase the chance of encountering a Jap plane.
Other than that, I assume that nightfighting is more like sneaking up on an unsuspecting enemy and shooting it down, than the high-G maneuvering of a daylight dogfight -which, as you point out, will not go very well with 4 full tanks under your wings.

This is not Ted, Steve and John's work...

The photo is added by using the Insert Image button. You can upload from your computer or from a URL (web link) – you want to use a URL – but unless you untick Retrieve remote file and reference locally when using a pic from another site you'll get the double display.

Having your screenshots on another site (eg Photobucket, ImageShack etc) means you're reducing the SOH bandwidth load: this is a Good Thing.

Just Amazing!

**HouseHobbit** · January 11th, 2016, 19:51

Oh yea! can't wait for this beauty!!

A great read on the P-61 series is-( P-61 Black Widow Squadron-Signal aircraft No. 106). Some great pics and specs given-(short/concise text). A great precursor till this wicked bird is released !
