I have a long held urge to model the westland whirlwind fighter in its sandbagged rivet ment at RAF Warmwell at the edge of the wood.There is a photo in several of the books on whirlwind that shows the scene.

I admire your perseverance,a lot of people would have chucked it by now.☺

Those photos are excellent,I have a question regarding the turret though.Is there a removable fairing around it as in those photos the fuselage is streamlined up to the turret,where as in the kit there is a distinct step around it.

I think your right,yes.

I remember when the echelon hunters came out,Scale aircraft modelling ran a build article over a few months,the photos were so bad you couldn't make out any detail.I much prefer the modern print,but I sorely miss the aircraft of the month with all the profiles.

I use evergreen ·080"(2·0mm) half round item number 242. If you have trouble getting any I can send you enough to do your F3. Neil (ana fatalbert)

Hi ,can anyone tell me where I can source British 250lb bombs in 1/72 scale and also complete Hispano cannon incuding breeches and drums.I have been looking through my stash,I have Airfix Blenheim's and Hampdens ,but they look like 500lb bombs to me.My Airfix Swordfish is in the loft at the moment,I know that has bombs,can someone please tell me if they are 500lb or 250lb please.Many thanks. Neil

Excellent,are you going to extend the cable rails on the side of the fuselage.One can get half round plastic rod that's the right size on a well known auction site.

Wasn't there a one off three engine DC3?
