About product

Engines for the P-61A Black Widow 1:72 (Quickboost)

A set of resin radial engine fronts for the American Northrop P-61A Black Widow night fighter in 1:72 scale from the manufacturer Quickboost. It is not an aircraft model but accurately cast detail parts that will replace the simplified engines from the base kit with a more faithful rendering of the cylinders and the plumbing.

What the part is for

The P-61 Black Widow was the first American aircraft designed from the outset as a radar-equipped night fighter. Its twin-boom layout with a central nacelle was powered by a pair of massive eighteen-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engines. The front of the radial is clearly visible behind the cowling intake, and because it tends to be only suggested in a kit, sharply cast resin parts noticeably lift the impression the nacelles make.

Usage and painting tips

Resin parts call for more careful preparation: wash them to remove the mold release agent in lukewarm water with detergent, separate them carefully from the casting block and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue; protect your airways while sanding. Paint the engines in a dark metal, bring the cylinders out with a dry brush, set the plumbing and the cabling apart in color and unify the whole with a gentle flowing wash.

Who the part is for

  • Modelers building the P-61A Black Widow in 1:72 scale
  • Those interested in more faithful radial engine fronts in the nacelles
  • Collectors of American night fighters of the Second World War
  • Builders who enjoy bringing out the detail of the engine area

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. These are resin engine fronts, that is, a detail accessory for a P-61 kit. The base model has to be obtained separately.

They have a sharper casting of the cylinders and the plumbing, so the radials in the nacelles look more realistic than a simplified plastic part.

They are washed to remove the mold release agent, cut off the casting block and glued with cyanoacrylate glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
