bigbadbadge Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Looking very nice , can't wait now I'm feeling like a kid at Christmas!!! Painting instruction looks good but wasn't the black horizontal tailplane underside a shadow as opposed to a black underside? Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks that way to me Chris, there's a corresponding shadow to the right of the starboard engine nacelle. Cheers, Stew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Cheers Stew, I thought so and it's definitely a lighter shade than the black port wing underside. Phew. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewerjerry Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi Well couldn't wait any longer for hannants to get stock so ordered one more direct from special hobby, slightly more expensive than the one i will be getting from hannants but i reckon in all, i will be getting two normal ones and one hitech when it comes out cheers jerry 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Now you two are just rubbing it in!!! Details look great and good to see the armour plate on the seat present and the wheels look good.

brewerjerry Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Hi definitely jealous, I ordered one direct from SH and waiting on one from hannants to come in stock I will be lucky if one of them gets across the pond to me by june but looks like it is worth all the waiting but gives me chance to think of maybe doing one in a ' speculative ' scheme of P6994 when it was in the USA with the USN, ( basically same colours as the grumman x5f skyrocket in 1943/4 ) cheers jerry Edited May 4, 2021 by brewerjerry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_Bogus Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Strange that they can travel the globe but still bypass good old Blighty! Brett Green's Gaspatch Komet unboxing video has a brief cameo of his mostly built Whirlwind. Both look good - the Komet and the Whirlwind, that is! Still waiting patiently...
