The Northrop P-61A "Black Widow" was the first American aircraft designed specifically for night fighter operations. The P-61A version was equipped with the advanced SCR-720C radar system, which enabled the detection of enemy aircraft at night and in poor weather conditions. The aircraft was armed with four 20mm Hispano M2 cannons and four 12.7mm M2 Browning machine guns, giving it considerable firepower.

The model also includes detailed landing gear shafts, radar equipment and armament.
