About product

P-61 Black Widow engines 1:48 (Quickboost)

A set of precisely cast resin radial engines for the American Northrop P-61 Black Widow night fighter in 1:48 scale. It is an aftermarket detail part for the engine nacelles that replaces the simplified plastic engines from a base kit, not a stand-alone aircraft model.

The real subject

The Northrop P-61 Black Widow was an American twin-engine, twin-boom night fighter of the Second World War and the first American aircraft designed from the outset for night combat with an onboard radar. It was powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engines.

Tips for use and fitting

Resin parts call for more careful work than plastic: first wash them to remove mold release residue, separate them carefully from the casting block and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Protect your airways when sanding and cutting small parts. Apply a primer before painting. The cylinders of the engines come into their own once painted in metallic shades and gone over with a dry brush; before the nacelles are closed, check the seating depth dry.

Who the part is for

  • Modelers building the Northrop P-61 Black Widow in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone interested in faithful radial engines in visible nacelles
  • Builders who want to raise the realism of the engine nacelles
  • Collectors of American night fighter subjects of the Second World War

The part is supplied as a resin accessory, unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail part, that is, an aftermarket accessory. The base kit has to be bought separately.

The part is shaped for the American twin-engine night fighter Northrop P-61 Black Widow in 1:48 scale. The exact fit in a particular kit is best checked dry, because the ranges of the makers differ.

Wash it to remove mold release residue, separate it from the casting block and bond it with super glue. Protect your airways while sanding. The work is a little more demanding than with plastic.
