Maybe some info, production numbers, squadrons, etc.
BTW - Yes, there are a few threads on this already.

There were 3 variants of the Blackwidow, the A, B and the definitive C model.  Unfortunately, the C model arrived in too late to see combat and it is also the variant that featured the black paint job, unlike the A and the B models.

But since the C model didn't fly in the war I didn't add it. Thank you for bringing that up btw.
I thought all the P61 series had the glossy black paint?

[Ack-Ack]

I'm sure there might have been a couple of instances were a few A and B models were given the black paint job on the field but the C was the only one to come out of the factory with the black paint. 

This is the paint scheme that the A and B models were given.
