For a Future Build

[GaryG64]

I have no idea where I'm going to put this because my shelves are at capacity
But, I am shopping for a1/48 P-61 Black Widow. I found one, on Amazon from Hobby Boss. Before I decide on this one, how is the quality of Hobby Boss and has anyone built this kit?

Thanks,
Gary

Hobby Beast puts out some good kits .
They offer subjects other companies don't .
They can have their issues , but I don't know anything about that specific kit -- might check YT for any revues .

How much is that kit ?

Thanks, Keith. Yes the kit is $50.00 and comes with some photo etch, but I'll probably want more PE and of course figures.
I figure it will make a nice rainy day start.
And this witner might be like it was in the snow storm we got a couple of years back. And a lot more rain. Fun, fun. I just hope we don't loose power for as long as we did. I think we were out for three days or so.

Ugh .
Yes , I'm back to watering continuously to keep stuff alive , then it will drop to 18 degrees for 3 days in January or February and kill what I saved from the drought .

Can you elaborate on the glass?

Yes, indeed. I'm not watering as much as I should but, oh well...

The canopies fore and aft have a lot of framing to paint.

So, lots of masking? I hope there are pre-cut masks.

The P61 kits have been pretty common for a long time so I'm sure there probably are masks available.
