Arcturus Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hello, I'm presenting my recently finished Westland Whirlwind Mk.I, built as part of the "The Battle of Britain" competition on Polish "Scale modelling with passion" forum. I used Eduards PE's and scratchbuilded some details (eg. moved antenna mast onto the canopy to represent early production variant). Hovewer, I am aware, that not all of the issues of this kit were corrected. All the markings were painted using masks (as you probably know, the decals in this kit are of low quality...). The model was painted using Tamiya and MrHobby Acrylics. You can see all the models built during this competition at this link: http://www.pwm.org.pl/viewforum.php?f=797. Hope you enjoy, Artur 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 The kit has had such a bad press, much of it justifiable, that it seems not many get built. Yours is great, and let's face it the model still looks like one of the greatest aircraft to never make it to being famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 A very nice model Well Done. The quality of the finish distracts from the kits errors. The paint effects are wonderful. Perhaps I'll get mine out of the naughty box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcturus Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thanx once again for all kind words! This kit is probably not the best kit in the world, but when finished, looks definitelly like Whirlwind. Thus, do not afraid to build it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
