Northrop P-61 Black Widow

566 Knight  8.9 years ago

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. Painted it now, Armaments placed in more fitting positions, Other minor tweaks. I'm still new to building and this is my first plane so any advice and alike is much appreciated. Thank you!
