brewerjerry Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hi I wonder if this will take longer to emerge than the hk lanc did 😩 cheers jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Same team as doing their Beaufort? That’s been on the cards for years. What? 7 plus? Still at least we see snippets of progress from them on the Whirlwind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_Bogus Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I asked them on Facebook a few weeks ago if there has been any progress on the Whirlwind, and although I got a pretty prompt reply, it was 'no progress' 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 It took them ages to get the Tempests out, and I think it fair to say they've been successful, better they take their time and get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I've got my Whirlwind on back order with Hannants. So it's guaranteed to hit the shelves at any point when my bank account is at it's lowest. That's my theory anyway. Steve PS: Excited about this too. Great to see some further progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Is there any update on the Whirlwind yet @petr@SpecialHobby, I could see it on the September releases info on another thread. Please can you offer a glimmer of hope of imminent release ??? All the best Chris Edited August 30, 2019 by bigbadbadge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Bogus Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Leafing through the latest SAMI there's a comment (p.61); 'we are hoping that we may also have some more news on the 1/32 scale Westland Whirlwind fighter at E-Day!' Hope springs eternal... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Smith Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Nice to see the 'Crikey' being done in a larger scale. Wonder if the kit will appear at Telford 2019. Any speculation about what Airfix's next biggie will be in 1/24th scale to follow the Hellcat? P38 Lightning, Mitsubishi Zero, Republic Thunderbolt or the rumoured Gloster Gladiator?
