I purchased this P-61 from a gentleman last year. His father was building it but passed away before he completed the plane. Turns out his dad was a P-61 pilot in WWII. I replaced the ThunderTiger 52 4-stroke engines with a pair of Turnigy G-46 motors, sealed up the holes in the cowl where the engine heads poked through, and vacuum formed my own landing gear doors.Still have several hours of detailing yet to do but will be flying it in a few weeks at the Columbus Scale Classic.
