Hi all, a while ago I was sent an early pre-production Whitely Mk.V from Airfix to feature in September issue of Airfix Model World magazine, now that the issue has passed I'm able to post it here. The kit arrived minus a box and decals to the Xtradecals RAF Bombers set was used The kit is another great offering from Airfix though there are one or two things to watch out for whilst building the beast, (I'm happy to go through them in the post at some point),. The detail is superb and includes very subtle ribbing on the wing upper surfaces and great cockpit detailing, (though of course I couldn't resist throwing the kitchen sink at it !)The breakdown is slightly unusual though broadly similar to the Blenheim in that the nose section being separate from the rear needs adding to the wing centre section and then to the rear section with the fuselage top being added later......sounds complicated but in fact it results in a very strong structure which befits the old beast. Overall a great kit and I look forward to getting hold of a few more for our Bomber Command sig...a Tiger engined version is just crying out to be built. Cheers, hope you like it and thanks for looking, Melchie.. And with ladders fitted,
