maxdecal Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Hi, Just a quick question on the major external differences between the RN Westland Whirlwind HAR9 and the RAF HAR 10. Did the RN HAR 9 have the under fuselage recess for a torpedo like the earlier HAS 7? I know the RAF HAR 10 did not have this feature. I'm planning to convert the Italeri H-19 into a HAR 9 as used in the Antarctic on HMS Protector. Any help with this question greatly appreciated. Cheers, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 a2zee are selling off their last few Mk9 conversion kits so get one now decals for Endurance in it. Yes they were all conversion of Mk7 so same torpedo bay gnome engine nose fitted on . Whirlybirdmodels do wheel floats for that version regards Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 As said above the HAR.9 retains the torpedo bay. Another difference is in the nose detail particularly around the intake area, the HAR.9 has a solid looking nose and the HAR.10 has a mesh directly in front of the engine.

If you have the H-19B with the drooped tail boom and are not using a conversion kit,remember that the strakes on the boom are different. I think Heloman on here had a thread some time back so may be worth a search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
