Northrop P-61 Black Widow

566 Knight  8.9 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Knight's Northrop P-61 Black Widow

The Northrop P-61 Black Widow, named for the American spider, was the first operational U.S. military aircraft designed specifically for night interception of opposing aircraft, and was the first aircraft specifically designed to use radar. Changed paint job to match one in image I have, Prototype rebuild, Altered armaments, Still very new to building as this is my first plane I've built. During flight testing I found that if you shoot the carrier with rockets it freaks out so y'all maybe wanna try that out and watch the reaction. And finally thank you for checking out my plane I hope you like it!
