seawinder Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 With all due respect, you really need to do some reading of past threads and make up your own mind since there is still no perfect P-61 kit in 1/48. May I suggest you go to google and search on this: p-61 1/48 site:www.arcforums.com You'll get a long list of threads with useful information. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nightiemission Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 If you haven't read it, try the pinned article on building the Rm P-61 kit. It may be of some help. Also, I have built the GWH kit. While it does have it's own issues, the fit of this kit is far better than the RM kit but, way more expensive. The Hobby Boss kit has major shape issues around the turret area that would take a lot of work to correct. IMHO, go with either the Rm or the GWH kits. Cheers, Terry (Certifiable P-61 NUT!!)

Joel_W Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) I built the GWH P-61A 2nd run kit before the Hobby Boss kit was released. Honestly, after reading all the reviews on the Hobby Boss kit, I'd still go with the GWH kit. I can't envision any major player issuing another 1/48 scale P-61 kit in foreseeable future, so go for the kit that offers you the biggest bang for your buck. Here's my GWH P-61A: The gun turret is from the old Monogram kit, and the opened panels for the engine are all scratch built.

bigjugs Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Like the P-40 kits, they are all crappy. You'll just save a large chunk of change going with the Monogram/Ravell. Might as well throw away least amount of $$ in the toilet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mfezi Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I just have to say: That is a beautiful model, Joel! I'm on a spree of "finishing what is in my stash", but when I start buying stuff again, I will seriously look into that GWH kit... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bails Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Can't go wrong starting with Google. As I recall, there's a video-full-build-article available on the GWH Widow. Google will confirm for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

seawinder Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 So what is wrong with the Hasegawa P-40 kits, other than being over engineered? My guess is he's referring to P-40B/C kits, which doesn't include Hasegawa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve N Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) I think he's referring to the thoroughly atrocious Hobby Boss 1/48 P-40s. SN Edited April 12, 2015 by Steve N Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You might note that I suggested a link to the OP that would provide a list of past ARC threads on this very topic, the most recent one less than a week older than this one. I have nothing against question and discussions, but I do think it good form to at least try to see if there are answers in previous threads (and at other forums) before posting a redundant query.

ByronLeal Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well, I must say that I look in some forums, google it, and do my usual search; but there is so much info that I was looking for some conclusions or clarifications; and was looking to find them here, and so far I will look into the GWH more closely. Thanks ALL!! Regards Byron :thumbsup:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
