I have been debating about getting this kit as I had not seen one built yet. After looking at your build and finish of this kit, it may soon become a member of my stash/estate sale collection. (I am never going to live long enough to build all of my kits.) This odd bird has always been one of my favorites. It just looks mean and graceful at the same time. Fantastic build and finish of this kit and am envious of your skills. Thanks for sharing.
-Thank you for your nice comment, this machine has a grace by her own. She is like these girls not specially beautifull but having something which inevitably attract you.
-This kit is a simple one, if you want a Whirlwind you'll get a very good looking Whirlybird without these sophitications I've installed
- There are few snaggs in it, The cockpit is well furnished, you just can add a new A.M control panel but it is not really necessary. The tanks on the upper and lower wings are a bit too prominent, sanding tem to a more rellistic thickness means a long boring rescribbing process. I think we can live with it.
The only parts which requires some attention are the tricky landing gear parts.
- Had this kit inclued some weapons detailing with a removable nose it cold have been on the top of the kits....

- After some mishap in W.I.P this is the pohotos of the finished model
And the real wartime thing....

- From the begining this model has been earmarked by problems and difficulties all along its building to the very end yesterday. I never spent so many time on the same kit. I began it at the end of February just after my Gladiator turned into Gauntlet.....
- Saturday taking the opportunty of a day without rain to hve the ritual photo session, but after a few shot the tail wheel broke, so back to the work table, yesterdy ,fine weather for photo at last, and post on B.M but mistkake unforgivable in the title and test and as apotheosis , I wanted it in R.F.I and I discover I had posted it in W.I.P
- So I rhink ou get the right to have more of the building sequencies to comply with the W.I.P; First, the very well furnihed cockpit which render the recourse of A.M kits unuseful
To continue with the most spectacular gun compartment
-The gun ammo drums were made in casted resin afer a makeshift master. I have other photos of the finished model in R.F.I

-Flaps down....
- The slot on the nose will find its explanation on the next photos

- Thank you Werner, the German prefered designing new project instead, offering more developpement potentiaL, like the TA 183 and Me P1101, which inspired the Saab 29 Tunnan ot the Mig 15 for the fromer and the swept wing for the later for instance

Another fine build of an old Airfix kit. As a kid, I grew up in deep south Texas right on the Texas/Mexico border. I didn't even know a company like Airfix existed. All I had access to were Aurora, Monogram and Lindberg kits. These old Airfix kits remind me of the Aurora kits. It looks like a Spitfire and you have built it and finished it to a very high standard. Thanks for sharing these old builds. Are there more left?
- In those days, when Us cargo ships landed in the harbour of my home town, Le Havre in Normandy, I as working as docker helper discharging ships,( I learned later were converted old Libertyships,) to earn some money, I was then around my sixteens, there were huge crates of Monogram and Aurora kits destinated to Us Air Force PX bases in France. I had killed to get one of these......Lindberg were most commun but nonetheless very prized.....before Airfix, Tryang and Frog easily available;.... french kit industry......? what are you talking about ? Unknown in the regiment........Those good old days.....!

Yep, I think so JM! I appreciate your interest in the Hunter, particularly so since you’re not even a part of the GB! Could be a lesson there for me. 🤔
- Well my friend, being in "group built" as well as a S.I.G is not in my philosophy , I'm more on the free lance side and as such also have great interest amongst many other fliyng machines. For the Hunter, I got the virus when I saw the film "High Flight", this is my interprettion of this beauty in 48....
-Do you like JAVELIN ,? I know She's not a HUNTER but just to eventually gives you the idea to express you skll in this another particular beauty by her self machine

- Modellers built kit for their own pleasure....... as long it is your pleasure.........! above all, if you attend some show it is firmly forbiden to touch the models SO.....nothing to worry about......
- Just a hint.......When I was a judge during competitions I used a dentist mirror and a fiber wire hand light to look under the skirt of the lady.......But don't worry I'm no more in the circuit..........

-The best is the ennemy of good, the only solution is to paint silver chrome covered by clear red and green other than take a print of the tip to make a master and use U.V setting clear resin but you will have tu cut the tip whatever

-You're a master in modelling , your chequered markings are an evidence Max, but I didn't knew you were a poet as well..... The red haze ? which red haze..? there must be a gremlin in your vicinity.......🍻.

- That remind me the wonderful movie "High Flight" starred by Ray MILLAND and other of less fame, I saw at the end of the fifties under the name "Pilotes de haut vol", my dream was to attend Cranwell to fly one......I was not interested by our Mystere IV.....It was too "French" ..... Dreams are foam...

- The Lightning kit in "New Arrival" advertising from Hannants is certainly a re issue of the old model owing to the similar box art, so I will forget this project....Above all because to the size of the box Hannants send it by Parcel Force at a far higher cost

Do you mean the main interplane struts?
Would the cabane struts need to be looked at?
-No I don't think so keeping the cabane mast length is a cue to respect the scale,and get the required dihedral only by lengthening the main struts. may be a slight benting of the external panels coud be necessary if the plastic is soft enough.It could be a bit more difficult if it is a resin kit
-
- I don't enough knows the " Tigre mou " as some people name it in this country , if you are talking of the dihedral, I should say the anhedral, the only way is to lengthen the main masts,to get the dihedral but it is too late now.....

-Thank you, about CZECH MODELS, they are simple kits, if you compare them to actual standards but they are easy to built OOB or requires the usual modification for such kits.if you want to have a model looking like its subject. I don't remember wether they inclued some modest resin accessories like the wheels but it is possible All in all C.M offers a range of models impossible to find in other renown manufacturer range; They may have ceased their activities
