Product Description
This product uses newly molded parts to recreate the P-61C, the final production model of the P-61 night fighter series.
The kit includes painting mask stickers and two types of decals (one for a night fighter and one for an aircraft participating in the Thunderstorm Project from 1946 to 1949).
In that project, observation aircraft, including the P-61C, entered storm cells, and used their onboard weather radar and observation instruments to observe and collect data on turbulence and the internal structure of clouds, which were then brought back to Earth.
That data is still useful today for weather forecasting and ensuring the safe operation of aircraft.
*The Thunderstorm Project is a national-level weather observation project that began in 1946, shortly after World War II, through the cooperation of the U.S. Army and Navy, the U.S. National Weather Service, and the U.S. Advisory Board for Aeronautics.
