It was intended to complement the slower British heavy tanks by using its relative mobility and speed in exploiting any break in the enemy lines. Whippets later took part in several of the British Army's post-war actions, notably in Ireland, North Russia and Manchuria.

Andy Moore Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The base, groundwork and Whippet all complement each other perfectly. Brilliant job Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheezburger Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 You've done an extremely good job on the paintwork of the Whippet as well as the base. The barbed wire you used on the other hand is no match for the advanced skills you showed. I would try and get a better wire, maybe from Eduard or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree about the barbed wire but as it was all I had at the time I thought it would do. I will be looking out for some more scale looking barbed wire for the future and may re-visit this dio and replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Fantastic model, but the unusual and very well made base really sets it off. The combined effect is superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Cracking model and display nice touch with the base looking like the rivets and plating Some people say the best form of flattery is to copy you may see something like this when I get round to building mine Beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
