Bandai
Since the air forces of individual countries began combating night bombing raids, these efforts have become increasingly effective.
To counter these night bombing raids, a number of night fighters were put into service.
The Americans launched their night fighter program in 1940. The US Army used the P-70 Havoc and the Beaufighter in the fight against the Japanese until the first 45 P-61 Black Widows entered service in October 1943.
With the development of the more powerful SCR-720C airborne radar, the US Army began modernizing its P-61s to accommodate this new radar. The new Black Widow with the SCR-720C was designated the P-61B. The B version had an extended nose and, in a later production phase, reintroduced the dorsal turret.
