Dragon 5122 P-61A Black Window/ P-61B Lady of the Dark 1/72 – Plastic aircraft model kit

The Dragon 5122 P-61A Black Widow / P-61B Lady of the Dark model in 1/72 scale is an offering from the renowned Dragon company for aviation modeling enthusiasts and World War II history aficionados. This faithfully reproduced plastic model kit depicts the legendary American night fighter Northrop P-61, which played a significant role in Allied operations during 1944–1945.

The P-61 Black Widow was the first fighter aircraft in history designed from the ground up as a night fighter with onboard radar. Used by the USAAF, it proved highly effective in intercepting German bombers as well as Japanese aircraft in the Pacific theater. A notable example of this aircraft's valor is the famous "Lady of the Dark" – a P-61B aircraft that shot down the last confirmed enemy target for American forces during World War II in a nighttime operation.
