A skin for Milton Shupe's P-70 Nighthawk. P-70 (no suffix letter) "Black Magic" belonged to the 547th Night Fighter Squadron, based at Salinas Army Air Base, California in early 1944 for night fighter training. The squadron would go to war with the P-61. Black Magic posed for a well known publicity photo in loose formation with a successor, a P-61 with the name Black Widow in the same style and location. This is the plane on the Revell kit box top.
