Revell 1/48 P-61 Black Widow, "Midnight Mickey" - Ready For Inspection

Well gents,
It is what it is but she's finally RFI!
Almost a year since I've started the build.
It's been uphill all the way with this oldie (the molds are shot completely combined with my average modelling skills), but worth every effort in the end!
I am not satisfied with many aspects, but overall I am happy because I had a lot of fun and learned a lot.
She is OOB, except Uschi lines for the antennae and scratch build tarps for the first time.
As for the tarps, I used them to cover the problems with the fit between the very bad clear parts and the fuselage (a lot of miss-alignments and gaps), which I didn't want to be fixing forever, so they were more of a necessity than a preferred choice. I think that they are too wrinkly and not matte enough. Anyway, I learned something new so next time I will know better.
Comments and criticism are more than welcome.
Thanks for looking!
Best,
Nikola
