42-39576 from 418th Night Fighter Squadron was a P-61B model with the turret. The Yellow tail stripes also gave me something to model.
42-39713 from 548th Night Fighter Squadron was another B model but one that had the turret. The nose art was interesting as well!
For the third model in the pack I decided to do a European Theatre of Operations aircraft. 42-5547 from 422nd Night Fighter Squadron was selected. I chose it purely because it was green but also that it had shot down a V-1. I reckoned that the Op Diver scenario in the book could be altered to use a P-61. Other reason is that it used some colour in the form of the yellow radome.
I need to put the national insignia and decals on these three but they are progressing in the right direction.
I have decided not to do Red numbers on the black P-61s due to the ongoing problem I have with printing black (I need to use a black background to print red using white decal paper)
